Webinar: Why did people fear the Victorian workhouse?

The workhouse was a major feature in the lives of the poor,
whether or not they were ever inmates themselves. This webinar
can help you to explore records in The National Archives, showing
what life was like inside the workhouse, and how it was viewed by
those outside.


Paul Carter is The National Archives' principal specialist in
modern domestic records. He has a particular interest in poor law
records.


A 'webinar' is an online seminar. This webinar took place on 11
June 2014.
