Cultivating Connections: Research Opportunities at the Royal Horticultural Society Plant Collector Archive
Workshop: 10.30-3pm, 12 May 2025.
RHS Lindley Library, 80 Vincent Square, London
This one-day workshop seeks to raise awareness among humanities scholars of the rich archival holdings at the RHS. Further details are in the attached Pdf, but the key points to note are that this event is a literal workshop: participants do not need to prepare anything in advance. On the day, we will look at selected early nineteenth-century materials from the RHS archive and discuss them together. The overall aim is to develop ideas for future research and public engagement projects, and funding applications.
We can pay travel expenses (up to c. £150). Interested participants just need to email a short description of their research interests and a CV or brief bio to Sarah Easterby-Smith by 11 April (ses22@st-andrews.ac.uk).
