There will be an opportunity to view a selection of the Caird Library’s rare manuscripts on maritime history. If you’ve ever wondered what life was really like in Nelson’s navy, how sick and injured seamen were cared for, or you simply want to explore your own maritime connections, this session will introduce you to the documents that can help you uncover the answers. This session will be repeated on the 4th Thursday of April, May and June. The session is free, but places do need to booked in advance by contacting bookings@rmg.co.uk The session will be taking place in the Quiet Study area of the Caird Library, which will be closed to readers from 10am – 12:30pm to allow the session to take place.
