In the half-century after 1913, approximately 5000 children were
sent from Britain to Australia, Canada, and Rhodesia under the
auspices of the Child Emigration Society, established by the
South-African born Kingsley Fairbridge in 1909. The Fairbridge
Society's child emigration scheme became the best known and most
celebrated of the 20th-century juvenile migration schemes from
Britain to the Imperial Dominions. This study investigates the
motives for the establishment of the Fairbridge child migration
scheme, examines its history in Australia and Canada, and outlines
the experiences of many of the former child migrants. The book is
based on material from Australia and Canada as well as archives of
the Fairbridge Society in England, Western Australia and New South
Wales, plus surviving records of the Society in British Columbia,
and on interviews with former Fairbridge children. It aims to place
the Fairbridge scheme in its historical context, and uses oral
history, interviews and photographs.
