JMA talks and events
Read what people have to say about JMA talks and events:
'The insight into the John Murray Archive and the many Scottish characters included was lighthearted and fascinating, it is not easy to keep audiences' attention for any length of time - yet you certainly achieved it.' - Ian Sinclair, Secretary, Friends of Rothesay Castle.
A wide range of public and private talks on the John Murray Archive, by NLS staff and others, is available within and outwith the Library. To arrange a talk for your organisation, contact JMA Curator David McClay: email d.mcclay@nls.uk
