Join us at Kelvin Hall to discover Glasgow 850 through a series of talks, tours, films and conversations.

You will have the opportunity to record your memories of Glasgow for the National Library of Scotland Sound and Moving Image Archive as part of the Kelvin Hall re(collects) project.

We will have curatorial experts from the Hunterian, Glasgow Life Museums and the National Library of Scotland on hand throughout the day to answer your questions on the collections at Kelvin Hall.

Our volunteer-led building tour will run at intervals throughout the day. You will learn about the history of the building and have a peek behind the scenes.

Screenings of found footage from the National Library of Scotland’s Moving Image and Sound Archive will run in the cinema throughout the day, so you can drop in to discover more about Glasgow.

Please join us to share your own stories as well as discovering more of what Kelvin Hall has to offer.
