Coram’s Voices Through Time: The Story of Care programme will digitise a quarter of its archive dating back to when it was established as the Foundling Hospital in 1739 with the help of volunteer transcribers.
Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the programme will see the digitisation of around 112,000 pages of the most fragile records, bringing to life the personal stories of the children who grew up in the Foundling Hospital, the UK’s first dedicated home for children whose parents were unable to care for them.
The content will be made accessible online alongside an interactive Timeline of Care, illuminating the history of the birthplace of social care, with the legal, social and cultural milestones in the story.
