Abstract

In the 19th and 20th centuries, more than 100,000 unaccompanied child migrants were sent from the United Kingdom to begin new lives in other parts of the British Commonwealth. A travelling exhibition telling the personal stories of some of these children has toured Australia for the last three years, and is now showing in England. Curator Kim Tao explains how the exhibition has helped to forge connections between former child migrants and long-lost friends and family members, as well as between international institutions.
