Digital Event: Somerset Treasures Talk
"Join archivist Eve Bickerton from Somerset Heritage Centre for an online Coffee Time Talk looking at Somerset's treasures this Somerset Day.Eve will reveal some of the treasures of the collections of Somerset Archives and Local Studies – from the oldest document in the collections (an Anglo Saxon Charter) to letters signed by Rudyard Kipling and Charles Dickens themselves! Somerset Day gives an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of Somerset, as a place to live now and as a county with a rich history. This Coffee Time Talk will explore some of the most prized items from within the archive collections, and will discuss how they came to be with us and what we can learn about our amazing county from them. Sometimes random, sometimes significant but always fascinating, these documents show our county at its best, as a treasure trove of lives lived before, and lives led now. Booking required. Please note, this is an online event by South West Heritage Trust.Image credits: C.GP.A.4. D.D.breg.7."
