With a portfolio of five unique, quirky venues, three of which have wedding licenses, as well as over 10,000 sqm of outdoor space set in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were able to welcome these events with open arms. 05 Sep 2019 The papers of Admiral William Cornwallis (1744–1819) The Caird Library's display case has a new display showcasing some of the collection of personal papers of Admiral William Cornwallis. 03 Sep 2019 Prints, politics & peers: John Pine’s tapestry hangings of the House of Lords One of the many treasures to be found in the collections of the Caird Library is John Pine's The tapestry hangings of the House of Lords: representing the several engagements between the English and Spanish fleets in the ever memorable year 1588 (RMG ID: PBE3597) 21 Aug 2019 The arrival of the Bermuda floating dock, July 1869 I recently catalogued a small collection of papers relating to Rear-Admiral James Francis Ballard Wainwright (1820-1872), in the Caird Library Archive Catalogue.
