Chance Heritage Trust and Sandwell Archives celebrate the stories of the remarkable women of the glassworks
Chance Heritage Trust and Smethwick Archives warmly invite you to join us for a special International Women’s Day Celebration at Smethwick Library on Wednesday 4th March Launch 12,30 pm. Our event will run from 11am to 4 pm and everyone is welcome!
We are proud to showcase the incredible women who worked at Chance Brothers, sharing their fascinating stories and artefacts uncovered through the Illuminating Chance project.
Highlights include AI recreations of vintage photographs bringing their work to life, alongside a special mini exhibition.
We are also celebrating inspiring local women, with local photographer Rebecca offering complimentary portrait photographs during the event. In the spirit of the day, we will be raising donations for Black Country Women's Aid, a local charity very close to our hearts.
The event will also shine a spotlight on our fantastic volunteers who support both Chance Heritage Trust and Smethwick Archives in documenting, celebrating, and advancing our shared mission. We do hope that you can come along, Jane, Chance Heritage Trust and Georgia, Senior Archivist, Sandwell Archives.
