If you have a question about this talk, please contact Samantha Simic.

In this talk Melanie will analyse how children were encouraged to become ‘little geologists’ in the nineteenth century: whether picking up a pebble on the beach, peering down a microscope at tiny fossils, collecting specimens for a rocky cabinet, or marvelling at model monsters.

All are welcome, refreshments will be provided.
