About this Event

Library curators share object stories from the latest additions to the Treasures of the National Library of Scotland exhibition.

This is focused on 20th-century collections – the archive of mountaineer and broadcaster Tom Weir, ‘Potato Pete’s Recipe Book’ and other Second World War Ministry of Food publications, and the first Dandy comic.

Each curator will give a short presentation, followed by a Q&A session. This is an in-person event.
