The Inauguration of the ODIS Newsletter!

February 29th, 2024: Welcome to the ODIS Newsletter! We will be sending out our bi-monthly newsletter providing you with updates, reminders, and highlights to keep you informed. We want to begin by thanking everyone for joining us on this journey. We appreciate your support and look forward to working with you!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

In honour of Black History Month it is important to highlight some of the work that Lloyd’s has done to recon with their history and involvement with the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Underwriting Souls is an interactive archive and set of online exhibitions that examine the role of insurance in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The materials are drawn from the collection of Lloyd’s the Insurance Market. These collections at Lloyd’s, likely the only of their kind in the world, shed light on the wider economy of slavery, its importance to British society and the British Empire. This project explores and presents these materials within that wider context.

We encourage you to do some learning through the resources we have provided and from other resources created by the Black community. Click the button below to learn more.
