About Evening Lecture: Women on the Rocks - Pioneers of Scottish Geology
The Hunterian, Kelvin Hall and the Scottish Geology Trust are proud to host Women on the Rocks in Glasgow and online on Wednesday the 28th August 2024 at 6:30pm, with Dr Neil Clark (Hunterian), Dr Katie Strang (Hunterian and SGT), Ann Cameron (NLS) and guests.
Scotland has been home to many pioneering women geologists whose important work has helped us to understand the Earth. Despite this, the history of geology has largely been told through the accomplishments of men, and many women have gone unacknowledged and their contributions have been lost to history.
Join us at the 2024 Scottish Geology Festival launch event in Kelvin Hall as we explore some of the lost stories of Women in geology with Neil, Katie and Ann as they highlight some of the pioneering women who have made contributions to the Hunterian collections, including Elizabeth Gray – Scotland’s Mary Anning.
The event will be held in-person at Kelvin Hall, 1445 Argyle St, Glasgow G3 8AW, and online via Zoom.
The National Library of Scotland’s Moving Image Archive will also be open to the public from 1:30pm – 8pm. The archive contains over 10,000 films which can be viewed for free at Kelvin Hall, including films on geology.
