The Thomas Hardy Archives: a talk by Dr Ruth Burton, project archivist

In mid-March 2024 Dr Ruth Burton began work to catalogue the internationally significant archives of author Thomas Hardy on deposit at Dorset History Centre in order to make them more accessible for research. She has been assisted by a team of dedicated volunteers and colleagues at Dorset History Centre. This talk will celebrate the conclusion of the project and the newly launched catalogue. Funding for this project has been generously provided by the Dorset Archives Trust, The National Archives,  The Valentine Trust, The Cooper-Dean Charitable Foundation, and The National Trust, together with a large number of public donations.

Please note that the ticket price for this talk includes a glass of wine and nibbles (please note that these may not be suitable for people with food allergies.)
