Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
Members of the public can access the collection of two million maps, books, photos, documents and objects spanning the past 500 years of geographical exploration. Users can research the lives of famous explorers such as Livingstone or Mary Kingsley, study nineteenth-century maps of Britain, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe, or use the collection of travel guides to research a holiday. The project, which was partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, includes online access as well personal visits to the Foyle Reading Room (over-16s only, unless by arrangement, take proof of identity to register as a new Reader) and exhibitions plus educational events for school and adult groups.
