This week we are joined by Beck Price, the archivist for the Voices Through Time: The Story of Care programme at Coram. 

Voices Through Time: The Story of Care is an ambitious project to digitise the earliest part of Coram’s historic archive, going all the way back to 1739 when it was established as the Foundling Hospital, the country’s first home for children whose mothers could not take care of them.

As well as aiming to preserve this fascinating historical record online for future generations, it directly involves young people in care or who have been in care, giving them opportunities to both engage with the archive and tell their own stories.
