Talks at The National Archives in May

We get down and dirty this month with a talk on the vast array of information related to public health held at The National Archives. A most foul and putrid mess: public health records for historians shows that a significant amount of these records are underused, and demonstrates the best way to approach them.

Other free talks during May look at the administration of the royal household and important sources relating to Oscar Wilde.

We're also running a number of talks that will interest family historians, including:

  • Tracing your Roman Catholic ancestors
  • Getting the most from the Society of Genealogists' library
  • Dr Williams' Library: an early birth registry
  • First World War army service records
