Teamwork makes the dream work: badger edition.
Two badgers pull a third along with a stick, while others excavate and pile earth onto it for removal.

Save the date!!
Our annual conference will take place at Trinity College, Cambridge, on Friday 25 November 2022.
More details to follow!

ALT In the foreground, on a table in a library, is a document visualiser focusing on a book with a red cover. The book cover can be seen on the screen of a laptop next to the visualiser and the book. In the background is the door to the library, a spiral staircase, and library shelves holding red-bound journals.
Our 1st in-person event of 2022 will be next Tuesday 11 October at 5pm! We will gather @ChantryLibrary to meet new librarian @MarjorywithaY for a tour of the space & a conservation book sale! Followed by a pub social at the Kings Arms on Parks Rd from 5.30pm.
