Local history seminar - Saturday 14 November 2015

The next Department of History local history seminar will take place on Saturday 14 November at 10am-12.30pm, in A18/19, Lenton Grove, University Park.

Sir Neil Cossons will speak on:

Past Futures Or Heritage Futures Or A Future for the Past

The future of museums and how we care for historic places is again becoming the subject of animated debate, the result of changing tastes and attitudes and severe reductions in public funding. What do we wish to take forward from the past to illuminate and inspire the future? Are we burdened by too much? And, who pays and how?

In this seminar Sir Neil Cossons, former Chairman of English Heritage, will be surveying the options and discussing them with seminar members. Come prepared to express an opinion!
