Talk at ULITA
Oct. 31st, 2017 10:32 pmLast Tuesday I skived of work for an afternoon (my poor flexi time, but it was worth it) to go to an event at ULITA - Barker in Peru. There were three talks on Professor Barker's career, before running up to the highlight of the afternoon, a 5 minute, silent film from 1924 of him looking at sheep, llamas, and alpcas in Peru!
As next year will be the 150th anniversary of his birth, there are plans for other events about him, which should be brilliant, as he also travelled to China, and many of the Qing dynasty textiles in the collection were donated by him. Also, in special collections there is a letter to him, from Ghandi, after he had worked in Khasmir!
