Would you like to have a go at being a women’s history detective? A new group is being set up by Glasgow Women’s Library to investigate the women buried at Glasgow Necropolis. We’ll be digging up the dirt on Victorian society, unearthing women’s achievements and building a fantastic new women’s history walking tour.
Come along to our first meeting to find out just who is buried at the Necropolis and how we can dig up the truth about women’s lives in Victorian Glasgow:
Tuesday 2nd March at 7pm at Glasgow Women’s Library
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done anything like this before. All you need is an interest in women’s history and a sense of adventure! Experienced women’s history detectives are also very welcome to take on a new case!
The group will be informal and we will all be learning together. We’ll meet once a month to share information and problem solve, with additional support available in between. There will also be a group tour of the Necropolis and visit to the Mitchell Library.
If you’d like to know more, or if you’d like to get involved but can’t make the first meeting, click here to contact us or you can email Liza Greig directly.
Let’s start digging!
