During this interactive workshop participants will work in groups to investigate the lives of ag labs in a particular geographical area. The areas will be different to those researched as part of Sowing the Seeds of History – Exploring the Lives of Agricultural Labourers in August 2025.
You will be introduced to a range of sources and techniques that you can apply to your own “ag labs”, across the country.
To get the most out of this session, participants will need to be able to access websites whilst also on Zoom.
