Bring your primary source to discuss

For our last reading group of the term (and 2025!), we will be running a little primary sources show-and-tell session! If you have an image, object, an extract from a manuscript or county record you are loving/bamboozled/aggravated by and wanted to talk about before a captive audience, now is your time! No need to send anything to us in advance - just turn up on the day with whatever you would like to share.

You are still very welcome to join in the fun even if you haven't got a primary source to bring. If Finn and Katherine keep their wits about them, there may even be some snacks to celebrate the end of our scheduled sessions for this term...

This reading group is run by UCL PhD students Finn Manders (Wellcome collaborative doctoral student) & Katherine Wills.

Open to PhD students, ECRs and other interested historical researchers. For information on upcoming sessions, dates, and reading material, please join the mailing list http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/HEALTHBODYREADINGWELLCOME.
