The Reading Rooms Team: Writing Gladstone – the letters of an age | GLADFEST 2023
Friday 8th September
2.30pm to 3.30pm - The Reading Rooms Team: Writing Gladstone – the Letters of an Age
Tickets can no longer be purchased via our website. The remaining in-person tickets can be bought from our Reception and will be available at our on-site box office on September 8th and 9th.
In 2018 the Gladstone's Library team launched an exciting digitisation project. Kindly supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a dedicated team of staff and volunteers have worked to locate, assess, rehouse, check, catalogue and scan several thousand items. The result is a digital archive that's accessible from anywhere in the world, offering one of the most complete portraits of William Ewart Gladstone's written life. Come and join staff from the Reading Room team as they talk through the project and share some of their marvellous finds.

Please note, tickets cannot be refunded or used for another event if ticketholders are unable to attend. All ticket purchases support us to care for the Library building and the collections it holds. As a charity, Gladstone's Library receives no government funding, so all purchases, Gift Aid and donations, are deeply appreciated.
