playgrounds in 1970s 80s manchester by hattie 1 playing as soon as i opened the adventure play folder of the elouise edwards photograph collection i knew i wanted to write about these pictures although the folder also included photos of children horse riding ice skating river wading and bouncy castle jumping the photos of the adventure playgrounds are what had me hooked i have so many questions who built them where were they were they safe did that even matter the photos show enormous wooden and metal structures usually near a large housing block or in large empty space with children leaping hanging and balancing on the various platforms slides planks and ropes smiling for the camera as they go it struck me just how different playtime was for children in the 70s than it is today not a screen in sight just dizzying heights and a couple of splinters instead continue reading playing and protesting adventure playgrounds in 1970s 80s manchester tags adventure playgrounds

01 2019 no comments on what they say about using the aiu centre research skills series by alison newby i ve written before about ways into the collection as well as reasons why it s a good idea to consider the centre s resources when planning for your study and research but what s it like actually to use the centre from my experience using the centre is like an adventure into the unknown in terms of the richness and quality of the resources at our disposal whilst it s true navigating the databases to find material relevant to one s particular area of interest can sometimes be tricky that s more than made up for in the quality of input and guidance provided by the staff tasked to make our time in the centre both enjoyable and optimal i m mindful of course that these may just be my own opinions so i ve been interested to find out whether other users agree with my assessment by checking out their feedback in this blog post i m sharing what i found with you image courtesy evondue

photograph collection by hattie for me photographs are such a valuable aspect of any archive this is not only because of the stories they tell and the memories they preserve but also because they transcend any language or literacy barriers and can be appreciated by everyone who sees them we are lucky enough to have had thousands of photographs donated to us over the years and they are by far my favourite collections to look through the elouise edwards photograph collection is our largest collection of photographs featuring everything from sporting events and political demonstrations to photos from the abasindi black women s collective and roots festivals most of the photographs are shot beautifully in black and white and show members of various communities around manchester in the 1970s and 1980s mostly in moss side and hulme elouise edwards is a longstanding resident of moss side herself after moving here in 1961 from guyana where she was born although elouise was at first unhappy in england she soon found her passion in the promoting defending and empowering of her community if these photographs are anything to go by she helped make a lot of people happy general 1

is still racism by hattie while the majority of the boxes in our archive contain uplifting material about the lives and experiences of black and minority ethnic people and their histories there are inevitably some boxes that are far from uplifting though difficult to read and controversial in content this smaller and lesser known part of the collection reminds us that racism has always existed and should not be excluded from our collective memory this is one of the reasons i decided to take a look in our box labelled scientific racism a certain type of racism that claims to be backed up by scientific research the other reason is the unwelcome fact that scientific racism never truly went away and is once again rearing its head in an increasingly mainstream corner of america according to several recent news articles a small group of political scientists is attempting to revive the types of findings that are recorded in our archive which are then being used to a certain degree by members of the alt right to justify their nationalist and racially discriminatory politics searching through the box i noticed that the material in our archive and the claims made in the past few years are alarmingly similar but so are the methods of scrutiny backlash and protest against them i hope this blog post will remind us that racism never disappeared and is still a threat to racial

worth a look this month as it was 42 years ago in november that the cre was first created one document i came across was the training handbook for social services departments working in multi racial areas see below the handbook explains that the cre was formed under the act of 1976 with the hope of eliminating racial discrimination within england wales and scotland this 1976 legislation replaced the previous 1965 race relations act which failed to address racial discrimination within housing employment and the legal system almost half a century later racial discrimination still exists in our society which causes me to ask did the 1976 act succeed in its aims how is racial discrimination characterised now in comparison to how it was perceived in the 1970s continue reading how equal is
