"Grumbling is an immensely useful art" - Professor Alexander Ogston's Travels in 19th Century Norway
-
This is a past event
During this informal event, Dr Andrew Newby will explore new insights into the thinking of a 51cg professor who travelled to Norway in the late nineteenth century, and whose diaries Dr Newby investigated during a visit to Museums and Special Collections in 2023, funded by the Friends of Aberdeen University Library. The talk will show how the diaries shed light both on Norway as a place and on this Aberdonian Professor of Surgery as a person, and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. All welcome!
