About the event
Dr Patricia Dark, Archivist for the London Borough of Southwark, will speak about the exciting range of material she oversees, the interesting people she gets to meet as part of her job, and how you can utilise the Southwark Archives for your own research. We will first meet in the John Harvard Library (Meeting Room) to hear a presentation about how the archives are organised and how to use the resources available, before being taken to the archives in an ‘after hours’ tour. Here, Patricia will explain some of the more interesting finds from the archives, and show us her favourites!
