Official Opening of The 1745 Association Collection at the AK Bell Library

The 1745 Association Collection comprises over 500 books on the Jacobite era, papers of F. Peter Lole, a leading authority on Jacobite glass, and other printed and manuscript material relating to all aspects of Jacobite heritage.

While many of the books in the Collection are accessible elsewhere, the 1745 Association Collection is unique because it offers a ‘one-stop shop’ where students of the Jacobite era can pursue their research in a comfortable location and be able to cross-reference different sources quickly and easily.

The launch will be marked by a day-long conference, including a presentation of important artefacts from the Jacobite era and talks on aspects of Jacobite heritage.

Please note, the deadline for bookings is 1 September.
