Readers are invited to attend two upcoming events at Magdalen College, which should provide a fascinating insight to the history of the college and the rich Medieval resources held there.

On Wednesday of 6^th week (26/02/14), an exhibition of manuscripts and facsimiles will explore what key details about texts can tell us about the production and use of medieval manuscripts. Guest curated by Sarah Laseke, the exhibition will be open to visitors from 12:00-14:00 and 16:00-18:00 in Magdalen College Old Library.

Meanwhile, on Monday of 7^th week (03/03/14), ‘Good Deeds: The Completion of Magdalen College Deeds Conservation Project’  will offer budding conservationists  the chance to discover more about a major project recently undertaken to clean, conserve and rehouse over 12,000 title deeds. Following  a presentation about the project, taking in the history and contents of the collection, attendees will be given the chance to view several original title deeds, some dating back as far as the late fifteenth century. The session will run from 17:30-18:30 in Magdalen College Summer Common Room, with all welcome to attend.
