About this Event
The Battle of Waterloo, the Coronation of Queen Victoria, and the raising of the Mary Rose are just some of the events covered by our fantastic archives and Printed Collections!
Take a trip down the vault of the University of Southampton's Special Collections by completing our quiz matching each historical event to the correct archival item in our collections!
Those that manage to achieve stamps for every correct archive's historical date will receive a certificate at the end, signed by the archivists and Printed Collections Librarian with their fancy quills!
There'll also be an activity for adults, where they will need to guess which period ten documents are from, which will include handwritten letters, telegrams, and deeds!
