New event: Spices, Food and Trade

As partners in the History and Heritage Adult Learning Network, the Wellcome Library is delighted to bring you details of a new event coming up in May.

Dr Richard Aspin, Head of Research and Scholarship, will be discussing Spices, Food and Trade. The talk will illustrate the connection between the three, as represented through manuscripts, artworks and books drawn from the Library's extensive holdings. The talk is part of the Past Caring: A Celebration of Food in History programme, with events taking place in libraries and museums across London.

Spices, Food and Trade will take place on Saturday 14th May, between 2pm and 3pm. The talk is free, but places must be booked in advance. Simply email t.tillotson@wellcome.ac.uk to book a place. We look forward to seeing you there.
