## Black, Asian And Minority Ethnic Histories Resources For Teachers Introduction

This resource contains a hyperlinked list of National Archives current resources for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic histories on The National Archives website. It includes education resources, exhibitions, research guides, blog posts and podcasts by staff and external writers and links to external websites. The intention for this resource is to make it easier for teachers to find resources for teaching a diverse curriculum. We are committed to further improving our resources and continuing to increase the number or Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic histories told through our lessons and collections. This document will be updated periodically to add new resources that have been made available through our website nationalarchives.gov.uk/education.

In light of the debates around the term 'Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic,' and the acronym 'BAME,' it might be important to note that it is used primarily for its practicality. Indeed, our records highlight the shifting nature of language as it applies to 'race' and racism over time, often inspired by social justice struggles. They provide a broader historical context for the emergence of such terms, and how through ongoing discussions, they are likely to change again in the future.

## Flickr Lessons Caribbean History In Photographs

## Walter Tull

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/walter-tull/

All of the questions based on the sources provided in this lesson have been suggested by the pupils.

## Bussa'S Rebellion

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/bussas-rebellion/

## Slavery

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/slavery/

## How Did The Abolition Acts Of 1807 And 1833 Affect The Slave Trade?

This lesson offers graphic evidence of the cruelty on which enslavement was based. The Court Records from Dominica reveal all kinds of details about the way enslaved African society worked. 

Most of all, however, it shows the punishments meted out to enslaved people, in all its brutality. It is an important piece of evidence of the reasons why the abolition campaign proceeded beyond 1807 to full abolition of the institution of enslavement in 1833.

## Captain Cook Https://Www.Nationalarchives.Gov.Uk/Education/Resources/Captain-Cook-In-Hawaii/ What Happened On His Final Voyage?

There exist several accounts of the last hours of Cook's life - the theft of the cutter, the attempt to kidnap the chief, the murder. These reports, such as Rickman's, come from officers who were in the bay, but were not actually on the shore with Cook at the time. This lesson asks students to critically examine Rickman's report and consider the events of Cook and his crew's meeting with the indigenous islanders.

## 'Convincing The Colonies'

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/convincing-the-colonies/

## How Did Britain Try To Keep The Support Of The People Of West Africa?

During the Second World War, Britain was keen to keep the support of the colonies in her Empire, including those in West Africa. Propaganda leaflets like the one in this lesson were sent to try and help win their support.

## Bound For Britain

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/bound-for-britain/

## Experiences Of Immigration To The Uk

Between 1948 and 1970 nearly half a million people left their homes in the West Indies to live in Britain. These people changed the face of modern Britain. They were all British citizens and, although they had never lived in Britain before, they had the right to enter, work and settle here if they wanted to.

This lesson has a video starter activity based on one of our documents to 'hook' students into the lesson tasks that follow. The documents included here only show a very partial glimpse of the life experienced by West Indians during this time.

## Past Pleasures

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/indian-indenturedlabourers/

## British Transatlantic Slavery

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/british-transatlanticslave-trade-records/
This research guide gives an overview of the major primary sources at The National Archives that relate to aspects of the slave trade, slavery and unfree labour in the British Caribbean and American colonies. It will help researchers to identify which areas of the collection will be of most use to them and suggest other sources and further reading that will help put these in their historical context.

It covers records created throughout the trade, from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This includes a wide range of documents from across The National Archives' collection, illustrating the extent and impact of the trade at the time. The guide is by no means exhaustive, but aims to introduce and illustrate the diverse documents relating to the transatlantic slave trade held by The National Archives.

## American And West Indian Colonies Before 1782 Https://Www.Nationalarchives.Gov.Uk/Help-With-Your-Research/Research-Guides/American-And-Westindian-Colonies-Before-1782/

■
■
the earliest English settlements (rather than settlers) in North America
■
■
Native Americans
■
■
piracy

This guide shows you how to find records held at The National Archives relating to the British Empire from 1782 and outlines ways of researching a particular topic. From the 16th century onwards, the British government amassed a wealth of documentation on its empire. The collection is therefore an unrivalled resource on the history of the British Empire and its former colonies.

## Black British History On Record Https://Www.Nationalarchives.Gov.Uk/Black-History/

This portal resource is designed to support the discovery of documents relating to black British history within The National Archives' collections. Due to the nature of our records, the term 'black British history' in this context refers to records 	
	
                        relating to British citizens of African and African-Caribbean descent.

## Holding History

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/students/archive-experiences/holding-history/
Working with professional filmmaker, Nigel Kellaway, our young people had the opportunity to explore original documents from our collection spanning key events and lesser-known personal stories from the past 1,000 years of history, considering questions such as: 
What is The National Archives? How has it changed and developed over the centuries? What are the challenges, threats and importance of an archive in today's world?

The film includes the stories of William Cuffay, Noor Khan, the Maroons and the Empire Windrush.
