Camden Migration Histories

In 2023 we collaborated with The Migration Museum to create this resource pack to help teachers and learners explore Camden’s wealth of migration histories as people from all over the world arrive, settle, and create homes and communties in the borough. The Resource Pack focuses on selected case studies for some of these communities and stories.

The pack can be used in different ways. As a whole, it can be used to get an overview of the diversity in the Borough of Camden, understanding how race, ethnicity, migration, community and housing intersect. Different sections of the pack can also be used to explore specific topics in depth. For example, a single case study could constitute one lesson as part of a large migration unit.

In addition to the case studies, we have created a migration history map of Camden, which, along with this migration history map guide, can be used to explore the migration stories interwoven into the streets around us. We hope that however you use the pack it is informative and helps teachers, students and other learners to better understand this rich and fascinating part of London.
