The Hunterian and the Geological Society of Glasgow
Webinar
By Neil Clark, the Hunterian Museum,
7:30 pm Thursday 9th December 2021
Neil will speak on “The Hunterian and the Geological Society of Glasgow”. The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow has long been closely associated with the Geological Society of Glasgow. It is important that we celebrate the early historical links and recognise that it has not always been smooth. From the early keepers of the Hunterian such as Henry Darwin Rogers who refused to even join the Geological Society of Glasgow, to his successor John Young (the bad), Ethel Currie and Ian Rolfe who all became president of the Society, the Hunterian has always had an influence on the Society. Where will the future of the Society take us post-pandemic and is there a future for geology at the Hunterian and Glasgow?
Non-members are welcome to attend the talk and the subsequent AGM.
