Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The talk will focus on the Ordnance Survey (and its military precursor), the Ordnance Survey’s main private sector competitor, Christopher Greenwood, and on the mapmakers for the Great Reform Act. We will follow their lives, their mapmaking skills, and their insults addressed to each other and to the world at large. Examples of the maps will be on display.
The talk will be followed by refreshments. All are welcome.
Access to the Upper Library is by stairs only and may cause difficulty for anyone with limited mobility.
We look forward to seeing you there!
