The series will range over a wide historical, geographical and scientific territory, from Kent's Cavern near Torquay to William and Caroline Herschel in Bath, and from Lord Rayleigh's laboratory to Ernest Rutherford and the birth of nuclear physics. The lectures are free and all are welcome to attend.

Listserve members might be particularly interested in the talk on the Linnean Society's Library and Archives on Friday 6 March (Lynda Brooks, Librarian, Linnean Society of London). Founded in 1788, the Linnean Society is one of London's oldest learned institutions. Among other collections, the Society's Library preserves the manuscripts, books and correspondence of Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern plant and animal classification. Linnaeus's library gives fascinating insight into his life and work.
