The People's Timeline — A Black in Time project

Community Guidelines

A shared record, built with care.

The People's Timeline is a space for sharing and preserving memories of Black British life.

We welcome personal experiences, family stories and different perspectives. Every contribution helps build a fuller picture of our collective history.

When sharing a memory, please

  • Be authentic. Share your experiences in your own words. If you're telling someone else's story, make that clear.
  • Respect others' privacy. Avoid sharing sensitive personal details or identifying information about others without their permission.
  • Be respectful. Different people may remember the same time or place differently. We welcome these perspectives, but not harassment, threats or discriminatory abuse.
  • Share responsibly. Only submit material you have the right or permission to publish.

Review and concerns

All memories are reviewed before publication to help keep the archive respectful and welcoming. Contributions that don't meet these guidelines may be declined or removed.

If you have concerns about a memory, please contact blackintimepod@gmail.com.
