Opening up the Archives

---

Marking the official opening of the RHN Archive Service

Go along to this conference on 4 October, to discover more about the history of the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (formerly the Royal Hospital of Incurables).

Attendees will learn what life was like for Victorian “inmates”, about the hospital and have an opportunity to view and explore artefacts and documents in the heritage collection.

The conference will also include talks from historians and archivists exploring the wider context of 19th century disability history including papers on ‘incurablity’ in workhouse asylums, treatment and care of people with learning disabilities and representations of tuberculosis patients.

For more information and to book a place (330), please email: colver@rhn.org.uk or visit the website.
