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

This event is part of a live, online lunchtime seminar series. University of Manchester researchers team up with experts from the Rylands to share current research activities. The seminars will showcase rare and fascinating objects from the special collections, along with discoveries and new perspectives formed through their study. Attendees will be invited to participate with questions and thoughts during the live Q&A.
