THE STORIES BEHIND THE INNOVATIONS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD
We explore the people, industries and ideas that built the modern world and their impact then and now. Our talks, given by our members for members, bring history to life through fascinating stories, research and personal connections.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? Yes, the title is a bit of a mouthful! It reflects our wide interests – from technical achievements to the personalities, economic, social and historical contexts that shaped them.
TALKS FROM OUR OWN MEMBERS Actually all our talks are given by members of the group. Drawing on research, their careers, family history, or simply curiosity, our speakers share stories that inform, entertain and inspire.
