Mersey and Dee YAC – The Archaeology of Slavery and Liverpool
The Mersey and Dee YAC branch decided to explore the archaeology of slavery and its links to Liverpool. They divided their project across three sessions: to learn about the legacy of the international trade in enslaved African people in their landscape, how to do research to find out more and what the finds could tell us, and setting out their display.
What was the main output from the project?
The main output from the project was the curation of a co-created museum exhibition at the Museum of Liverpool based on the topic of the TransAtlantic slavetrade in Liverpool. Below you can see the panel they created, the museum display and the installation underway.
