Sessions include: \n• A display class with historical material from the St Georges Hospital Collection (patient registers\, illustrated casebooks\, post-mortem reports) exploring how to use them and what they can tell us\n• An illustrated history of Northumberland County Lunatic Asylum\n• Introduction to palaeography skills (reading old handwriting) session with an activity using original documents\n• Introduction to digital resources session with an activity using Ancestry records \n(Please note that this project is for adults only. Historical documents use outdated terminology to describe disability and mental health conditions and may also contain material that some people find offensive or distressing.) \nPlease sign up using the volunteer platform Better Impact \n
