Cataloguing Clinics 2022
ZOOM Join from anywhere in the worldCANCELLED - Due to day of mourning for the Queen.
Free monthly cataloguing clinics via Zoom. The clinics run for an hour from 11am – 12noon on the 4th Thursday of each month. It is a relaxed gathering of people who are finding their way through the intricacies of cataloguing material in historical collections which, as we all know, fall between a library and a museum with sometimes a bit of art gallery thrown in.
