September 2024

A warm welcome to the September issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history, in our unique web-friendly format ideal for screens of all sizes.

Today we take photography for granted, but its pioneering years must have been exciting – in this issue, Nell Darby gives us a fascinating snapshot of its development. Something else we might take for granted is health and safety in the workplace – not something our ancestors could do, though, as Simon Wills explores in our cover feature. And if that's not enough to make your hair curl… Ruth Symes has a story of hair fashion in the past.

As ever, there's much more inside to enjoy and learn from inside, and you can still get your copy of the 11th printed edition of Discover Your Ancestors, packed with completely new articles, via our website!

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
