The next film in our Lectures at Home series will be available to view tomorrow Tuesday, 21st July from 11am and features Arts Society Accredited Lecturer, Irving Finkel speaking on the topic of Rescuing unwanted diaries.
Finkel talks about his extraordinary discoveries of some of the most personal, intimate and detailed historical objects. Focusing on the diaries of 'real people' - as opposed to the published memoirs of politicians and other people of public interest - he discusses how we can learn about the past by allowing the voices of the past to speak to us through the ages. Be prepared for a passionate appeal to preserve diaries for future readers and learn how you can contribute to our understanding of the past.
