Five free & fascinating web presentations from speakers to comprise a virtual On the Wrong Side of the Law seminar of the Guild of One-Name Studies, available to all. The talks include ones on criminal ancestors, including transported criminals, and what you can find in the Police Gazette. The presentations become live at 10am on Saturday, 16 May, and will stay available for a week, so you can dip in and out of the talks. For Guild members, they'll be available on the Guild site in the members room thereafter.
Provisional programme:
- Getting to Know Your Criminal Ancestors – Aoife O’Connnor (Find My Past)
- Tramps’ Tales: Discovering the history of homelessness in Britain – Nick Crowson (University of Birmingham)
- Why You Need the Police Gazette (part 1) – Richard Heaton 3231
- Why You Need the Police Gazette (part 2) – Richard Heaton 3231
