Hi LIST participants

"The Simonstown Museum is hosting a pictorial travelling exhibition on the History of Slavery in 18th Century Western Cape. The Simonstown Museum is open daily from 9h00 am until 16h00 pm."

PS. It is,also, strongly recommended that you take the opportunity to visit the nearby community-based Simonstown Heritage Museum at AMLAY HOUSE, King George Way, Simon's Town,[near to the Toy Museum] which houses photographic displays of Group Areas forced removals and other artifacts of former residents.

Please visit Heather's South African Genealogy Help pages website for more info on this emerging institution which is grassroots intitiative by community researchers such as Ebahiem Manual who traced his ancestral 'slave' roots from Simonstown directly to Indonesian Island of Sambuwa a few years ago.
