If you are in town, please join me tomorrow for a talk, The Legacy of Islanders Involved in Transatlantic Slave Trade about my research and photographic work in Canada, Brazil and Belize as part of Black History Month at Jersey Museum. I will be discussing how discoveries of images and documents in various archives became starting points for Entrepôt - a maritime photographic research project exploring the history of Jersey’s cod-fishing trade in Canada and its merchant networks in the West Indies, South America, Mediterranean and Baltic in the 18th and 19th centuries. A selection of some of these archival records and photographs I made in response form part of Jersey Heritage’s Trade Roots - Jersey’s Links to Transatlantic Slavery exhibition at the Victorian House at Jersey Museum. #entrepot
