We are thrilled to announce a first-of-its-kind genealogy-focused partnership with @Ancestry! As part of Getty Images’ HBCU Grants Program, this initiative focuses on the digital preservation and accessibility of historical documents, records and the photographic archives of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The partnership was initiated with @LincolnUofPA whose historical archives date back to 1854. Ancestry and Getty Images have already started digitizing vital documents with Lincoln's library staff, including the Lincolnian, deteriorating records and hundreds of photographs from Lincoln's archival collection. Learn more about the partnership and Getty Images' HBCU Grants program here ➡️ newsroom.gettyimages.com/en/… 📸: Lincoln University via Getty Images BTS photos: Captured by Cassandra Illidge

Christine Lewis, who will be watching the #Coronation2023 with a G&T, cucumber sandwich and slice of Victoria sponge, discovered her connection to the crown though a combination of Family History research and a DNA test with @Ancestry

'Having this connection to a period of significant history in Britain is fantastic and gives me a link to Henry VIII, whose son would be my cousin many times removed.' ✍️ Christine Lewis writes for @MetroOpinion trib.al/enJf4Y7
