On 23 November 2022, descendants of Minnie James led by her great grandchildren, Marguerite, Jeanne and Robin Paul, participated in a moving ‘family reunion’ at the Temple of Peace where they presented to WCIA for future display at the Temple, an extensive collection of Minnie’s mementoes from World War One and from the 1938 opening of the Temple.
WCIA’s heritage volunteers team will be digitising all of these items for posterity, research access and use by communities and historians alike. Here we draw together some of the digitised albums of Minnie James’ collections.
