On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
To mark the acquisition of a new and important astrolabe in the collection, Dr Stephen Johnston (Assistant Keeper, Museum of the History of Science) presents the first research results on its story. This new acquisition to the Museum is an example of a medieval device that has been adapted and reworked in the 16th century: it tells a story of the Renaissance recycling rather than rejecting the Middle Ages.
Doors open at 18:30.
Part of the programme of events for the Museum’s new entrance gallery exhibition: New Acquisitions (Opening 19 January 2016)
