This one-day conference celebrates the Society of Antiquaries of London's archive, library, and museum collections.
The Society is home to over 40,000 objects, paintings, prints and drawings, and its world-renowned library contains over 130,000 books and manuscripts. We also own Kelmscott Manor, the former home of craftsman and designer William Morris and his family. Collected over a 300-year period, the Society’s unique items span many centuries of human history and material culture, from Palaeolithic stone tools to Tudor royal portraits.
Our Collections and Research Day showcases current staff and volunteer projects, as well as critical, theoretical, creative, and practice-based responses to our collections and those of related organisations. Confirmed speakers include Hardeep Dhindsa (King’s College London), Alice Dodds (Courtauld Institute of Art), Joe Ellis (University of York), Jonn Gale (Birkbeck University), Ellie Glasser (University of York and Merchant Taylors’ Company), Keely Hayes-Davies (University of York), Emma Mitchell (Brunel University London), and Dr Hannah Yip (University of Manchester).
This conference was sponsored and hosted by the Society of Antiquaries of London in its apartments at Burlington House, Piccadilly, London.
