OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Distinct from country houses owned and/or run by conservation bodies, independent country houses have the foremost concerns of the family to balance against public access and interest.
This first University of Oxford Country House Symposium, held jointly with the Research Centre for Victorian Political Culture at Keble, welcomes leading curators and collection managers representing the estates of the Dukes of Devonshire and Richmond and the Earls of Derby and Portland.
At a time when even royalty is seeking to reposition the relationship between private and public, each speaker will discuss their current projects alongside their experiences of balancing the family’s privacy and personal history with the public presentation of their nationally significant collections and stories. Discussions will also touch on how members of the university might best share knowledge with collections in the future.
Drinks to follow.
To reserve a place and for more details, please email alexandra.mayson@kellogg.ox.ac.uk by 1 March
