The Romany and Traveller FHS have recently added two new collections to their free records:
https://rtfhs.org.uk/free-records/Part 1 of the
Directory of Travelling Photographers collated by Chy Hersey:
https://rtfhs.org.uk/directory-of-travelling-photographers-1841-1881/and
The Keith Chandler Collection of Romany and Traveller Biographies.
Keith started out collecting information about Romany musicians but the database grew to include other Travelling people he came across. The result is a Collection of thousands of individuals that Keith has kindly donated to the RTFHS for everyone to gain from.
Surnames A to B launched on 2 April 2024 and will be joined by other letters of the alphabet over the coming weeks and months:
