As part of the Cosin’s Library Project, we’ve developed a series of online resources to help you learn more about historic libraries and how we use and care for them. We will be releasing more over the coming months, so check back regularly for new and updated content.
In this online tutorial, you will learn how to read and transcribe documents written between 1500 and 1800. You will discover what palaeography is, why it is useful, and what other skills you may need to understand historic documents. You will find lots of help, advice and exercises to get you started and you will have an opportunity to have a go at transcribing yourself.
Online exhibition showcasing the activities of our artists-in-residence. Learn all about Lady Kitt and Sofia Barton, and how they’ve been using art to share Cosin’s Library with local residents.
