Join us on our collections encounter in the Historic Reading Room, exploring Deaf community and culture from the late 19th century to the 1980s. Like hearing people, Deaf people have always been here too. Come and view objects, including those from the archive of librarian and Deaf activist, Richard Goulden, and consider collections tracing social, educational, and political activities. BSL interpreters including Thomas Holroyd have been booked for this talk.
Part of a series of free events, as we delve deeper into the stories behind our ‘We Have Always Been Here’ exhibition.
This event is free and drop in.
