June talks at The National Archives
From Shakespearean plays written in the 19th century to letters about the social life of Noel Coward: a talk this month on forgeries in the archives explains why people are driven to commit forgery - and how they get caught.
The road to Jamestown looks at why English sailors and the crown turned their attention to the New World in the 16th century, and how piracy, greed, religion and warfare became the foundations of attempts to settle America.
Other free talks during June offer a wealth of help and information to people researching their family history, including:
- Tracing your Scottish ancestors
- Using the death duty records
- Sources for Anglican clergymen
- Apprenticeship records
