Andrea will be joined in conversation by our Director of Research Dr Sandra Knapp and our Library Special Collections Manager Andrea Hart. Together, they’ll uncover the stories behind specimens, archives and voyages that spanned the Antarctic Circle and the South Pacific during Captain Cook’s second expedition. Come to find out how these historic collections continue to inspire new perspectives on science, culture and global history today.

This talk comes at the perfect time, taking place just before the opening of our new Nature and Us Gallery. It offers a rare opportunity to delve deeper into the ideas and research shaping the collections we care for and the ways these influence our interactions with nature.
