The Workhouse Network brings together museums, heritage organisations, archives and universities interested in welfare history. |
|
The Network exists to share expertise, develop skills, knowledge and understanding and to promote the understanding of the history and contemporary relevance of poverty, welfare and the poor.
Membership is open to any organisation concerned with the history of poverty and welfare. |
Our response to COVID-19: We hope everyone is staying safe at home. In response to current circumstances, we are considering the best way to progress with our 'More Than Oliver Twist' project at this time. We are working hard behind the scenes to plan our exhibition and look forward to sharing it with you in the future.

Our ProjectsMore Than Oliver Twist, 2019 -2020
The More Than Oliver Twist project provides training for six workhouse sites to research the lives of inmates in their institutions in the 1881 census. From this research, they will create a temporary physical and digital exhibition. The project is funded by Arts Council England and supported by Nottingham Trent University and The National Archives. |
