Details of (3) are here. This will be free to those attending (1) or (2).
The aims of the day will be to

- introduce some community and academic research which has already been done in this area
- discuss and develop future projects of community history research.
This day is being developed in association with the "BABITME" conference in York (17-18 June 2016), and is supported by the Centre for Hidden Histories.
"BABITME" stands for "Borders and Beyond in the Middle East since 1914". The BABITME conference is in York next 17‑18 June – see

==========================
More about the Kings Book Project
The Kings Book lists 1447 Yorkies
who died in WW1.
Among these are 90 who fell in the Middle East.
They are listed at the foot of this blog.
We plan to
research:
- these 90 and their pals, and families then and
today
- the locations where they served and died
- “Other persons' histories”: Germans, Turks and others
affected by the same events.
This will raise questions
such as the following:
- ·
What were they doing there, and why?
- ·
What difference did it make?
- ·
What about non-Brits in the area, then and now?
Scholarships available. If you or your history
group might be interested, please contact
