Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Join us for a ‘listen, print, sing’ and learn about the Bodleian’s collections of missionary archives, tonic sol-fa, and printing.
A talk will explore examples of printing and archival materials from East and southern Africa that illustrate the use of printing and tonic sol-fa in nineteenth-century missionary work.
Participants will learn to print the music of a hymn in Tonic sol-fa and then have a go at singing through it.
The session is led by Philip Burnett, University of York, and Bodleian staff. All levels of ability are welcome. Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
