Stories of Migration and Belonging

This post, from February 19, has information on Stories of Migration and Belonging, the Hamilton Museum’s newest digital exhibit.

Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,

As a part of Heritage Week (February 19 to 25), the City of Hamilton will be showing Hamilton Civic Museum’s newest digital exhibit, Stories of Migration and Belonging.

For more details, please continue reading below…

Stories of Migration and Belonging was created as a partnership between Hamilton Civic Museums, Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council and members of the community who came together to honour and amplify the contributions of immigrants to our communities.

These three short films present the immigration stories of Enerals and Pricilla Griffin(Griffin House National Historic Site), James McFarlane (the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology) and the Sisters of Social Service (Auchmar Estate).

Museum staff worked closely with community partners to bring these historic stories to life, including the Griffin House Committee, Stewart Memorial Church, Cemetery Chronicles and the Diocese of Hamilton.
