Founders and Funders: What Next?
17 Oct 2023
Join this drop-in session taking place at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library on Friday, 27 October at 1pm - 4pm.
Join the John Rylands Research Institute and Library in activities to promote and explore collections close to our current exhibition Founders and Funders: Slavery and the Building of a University.
Our public engagement team and Matt Stallard, Associate Researcher at the Centre for the Studies of the Legacies of British Slavery University College London, will reveal and consider more items and stories from the archive of cotton spinning mill owners, McConnel & Kennedy.
We also welcome an Ahmed Iqbal Ullah RACE Centre representative to inform, guide and answer questions about accessing collections, focused on Global Majority histories in Manchester, especially those with close geographic proximity to The University in localities such as Moss Side and Hulme.
Drop in to find out more. This is a free event.
