SUMMARY:Digitising Aris’s Birmingham Gazette
DESCRIPTION:A symposium about the recently digitized Aris’s Birmingham Gazette (established 1741). \n10 Sept; 1pm – 7.30pm \nEstablished in 1741\, Aris’s Birmingham Gazette was described by Asa Briggs as one of the most lucrative and important regional papers in the country with a reputation for its political impartiality and which\, even in the eighteenth century\, was circulated over a wide geographical area. \nFollowing a year-long project Aris’s Birmingham Gazette has now been digitized and was recently made available through the British Newspaper Archive\, which is published and managed by Findmypast\, in collaboration with the British Library. \nThis event comprises a symposium\, where those involved in the project talk about the work involved in making this important resource available; guests speakers contextualise Aris’s against Birmingham in the eighteenth century and newspaper publishing in the city more generally; there will be a panel discussion where those who have used Aris’s Birmingham Gazette reflect on the part it has played in their research. \nThis is a free event which can be booked here via Eventbrite. \nThis event is event supported by BCS Heritage Trails project. \nThe symposium will be followed by a drink’s reception. \nA programme for the event can be found here: https://www.cphc.org.uk/events/2022/9/10/ariss-birmingham-gazette

SUMMARY:Birmingham Suffragettes & Northfield Library
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the Birmingham women who fought to get the right the vote and the Northfield Carnegie library which was rebuilt after Suffragette direct action. \nThe story of women’s struggle for the vote often refers to the Pankhurst family\, but women all over the country were invested\, and took direct action\, in the political fight for the vote. In Birmingham there were many women who as suffragists devoted their lives to the cause and suffragettes whose militant acts resulted in imprisonment and\, often\, force feeding. In this illustrated talk Dr Nicola Gauld will highlight the importance of Birmingham women in the national struggle for women’s right to vote. \nThe Suffragette talk will be followed by a talk about the history of Northfield Library\, built in 1906 with Carnegie funding and rebuilt in 1914 after a Suffragette arson attack. The new Northfield Library was Birmingham’s first ‘open access’ library\, requiring a new internal layout and design features. The talk about Northfield library will be presented by Irene de Boo\, freelance heritage consultant. \nThe talks take place at Northfield Library\, 77 Church Road\, Northfield\, B31 2LB. \nWheelchair access via the front side entrance please ring the bell and staff will open the doors. The event is taking place on the first floor there is a stair lift available for those unable to manage stairs \nThe talks are free to Birmingham Civic Society members and open to non-members and are part of the Society’s Heritage Trials Project\, generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the W A Cadbury Charitable Trust. \nBook your place \n
