To coincide with the Museum's North West Passage exhibition members of the Archive team will be holding three Archive Journey sessions in July. We'll be talking about items from our Polar Exploration box and there will be plenty of opportunities to view original documents up-close and ask questions about the things that you see.
The sessions will take place on 13 July at 3pm, 22 July at 3pm, and 30 July at 11am and are free of charge. You'll find us in the entrance to the North West Passage gallery and there is no need to book in advance. So if you would like to know why Thomas James decided to sink his own ship in 1631 or what Sir Ernest Shackleton thought about the scenic beauty of Antarctica why not come along?
Regular readers of the blog may be familiar with our Archive Journey sessions but if not you can read a bit more about them by clicking on the tag at the bottom of this post.
