National Archives talks and podcasts

Important information for visitors

Until summer 2025, there is a new visitor route at the National Maritime Museum while we carry out essential improvements to the Museum's roof. Most galleries will still be open as normal, and special exhibitions are currently free for all visitors. However, the Great Map and AHOY! will be closed for the duration of the works.

The National Archives has a diverse programme of talks and events that I get regular updates on but don't often find the time to go to. For those of you not based on the other side of London however, I do recommend having a look at the upcoming topics, as there's plenty there for those interested in maritime and imperial history.

Coming up on June 25 for example, there's a talk about Jamestown: "how piracy greed, religion and warfare became the foundations of Elizabethan attempts to settle America".

And if you can't make it in person you can see (hear?) what you've been missing on the podcast page. I'll be downloading Chris Watt's talk about passenger lists (mp3 file), and Bruno Pappalardo's one on Naval medical journals (mp3 file) - the one that Martin blogged about.
