  • Researchers' Night: Scotland and the Wider World

    We would like to draw your attention to Scotland's first ever Researchers'
    Night: Scotland and the Wider World which will take place on 24 September 2010 (3pm - 11pm)

    We invite you to join us in a celebration of Scotland's links with the wider
    world at our festival of history.

    We have organised a series of fun and informative events to be held on Friday,
    24th September 2010 and we hope you will join us in St Andrews to make it a
    truly memorable occasion.

    This is a landmark event, as this will be the first time that Scotland will be
    hosting a Researchers' Night. While we celebrate in Scotland, over 50 venues
    all over Europe will be holding similar events simultaneously, from as far away
    as Thessalonki in Greece to the Natural History Museum in London.

    The School of History has worked together with MUSA (The Museum of the
    University of St Andrews) and Historic Scotland to bring you a programme of
    events which we hope will have something of interest for everyone.

    Our events include a Public Lecture series take you on a journey back in time to the creation of the Scottish Universities, or the adventures of the Scots in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).

    Family historians are invited to come and try our Scotland, Scandinavia and
    Northern Europe Database with its c.8000 biographical records.

    You may also like to browse our Poster Exhibition and explore the depths of
    James VI's canny brand of diplomacy.

    For those who cannot attend we will be releasing a series of podcasts throughout the day as well as hosting online discussions.

    See our Events page for more details of everything that we have organised for
    you at:
