Hidden Lives Revealed - A Virtual Archive, 1881 - 1918
Hidden Lives Revealed provides an intriguing encounter with children who were in the care of The Children's Society in late Victorian and early 20th Century Britain.
The Photograph Section
About 200 photographs that show the kind of background many of the children came from - and how different that was from daily life in the homes.
The Case Files Section
About 22,500 children were looked after by the Waifs and Strays' Society between its foundation in 1881 - and the end of the First World War in 1918. A selection of these children’s files are available here, in full - but fully anonymised.
The Homes Section
The Waifs and Strays' Society operated nearly 175 children's homes up to 1918 - although not all at once. Browse or search through their stories here.
