A chance for guests to enjoy talks by some of the Hunterian Associates, whose projects involve objects from the University of Glasgow's Special Collections.

The Hunterian Associates Programme provides a platform for postgraduate researchers to share knowledge and develop skills. This year five Associates from the University’s College of Arts Graduate School have actively engaged with Special Collections and University Archives material. This event is a showcase for these projects. Come along to experience these fresh interpretations of our world class collections. Each Associate will talk about their project (for approx 30-40 mins) and mount a display of material related to their topic.

This is also an opportunity for prospective Associates for 2014 to find out about the Programme and talk informally to current  Associates and staff in Special Collections & Archives supervising projects.
