Regular researchers and readers of our Caird Library may have noticed an increase in user numbers in our reading room. This is due to the 5th International Congress of Maritime History which is being held in the inspiring surroundings of The Old Royal Naval College.
The international congress is running from 23rd-27th June and will cover every aspect of maritime history, spanning every time frame. More than 250 papers will be presented from a host of expert speakers from over thirty countries. Subject areas covered include piracy, maritime disasters and naval history.
It is an absolute honour and pleasure that the people taking part in this congress are finding their way to our library and we welcome them and any research needs that they may have.
If anybody wishes to request items that are not available in our reading room, you can follow this link. To ensure the smooth running of the request system please make sure that you give advanced warning for your chosen items to be retrieved.
We hope that all participants of this special five day event find it to be productive and enjoyable.
