Join us for an online lunchtime seminar exploring a very rare collection of prints and drawings used to teach midwifery in the 19th century. Rebecca Whiteley (Shreeve Fellow in the History of Medicine) and Elaine Sheldon (a senior conservators at the Rylands) will discuss how conserving and researching a collection are activities that can go hand in hand.
This is an online event that will take place via Zoom. Book your free place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-radford-collection-19th-century-obstetrical-and-gynaecological-images-tickets-257892271727
