Loving this slide - part of the conclusion to Adam Chapman's lecture this evening, looking at the formative role Victoria County History has played in historians' careers - then and now.

This may or may not sway some people, but there will be wine, a modicum of talking and books.

An excellent book covering clubs, politics, applying for the post of a church organist in the 18th century (your interview panel chair? G.F. Handel) & a surprising amount of industry.

So wonderful to see so many of our colleagues, Victoria County History's big red book in one place!
