Excellent #Fragments conference @SaSiety. Always happy to talk about foundlings @FoundlingMuseum @Coram. Now preparing for the next conference dedicated to the London Foundling Hospital @LFHConference23 later this week.
We are back from lunch! Kicking off panel 3 "Lost and Found: Fragments, Recovery, and Loss" with the wonderful doctorate candidate @JanetteBright from @ihr_history / @SASNews talking about "Foundling Tokens: Evidence of Lives Fragmented".
Totally agree. A great 2 days and excellent organisation @SaSiety #Fragments.
So proud of the whole @SaSiety team and the Doctoral Centre for organising #Fragments2023, a fantastic first Postgraduate Conference for @SASNews! Loved our student community representing their institutes and research in fascinating talks and discussions. So happy to see support
