Published in 1736, Francis Drake’s Eboracum offers an unprecedented record of the history of an English city outside of London.

This lecture will explore the effects of such a publication in the 18th century, how it represented the living city as an already-archived object, and how it shaped the perceptions of York in the mid-eighteenth century.

Open to all. Tickets can be purchased from any Explore Library, by phoning 01904 552800 or from www.feelinginspired.co.uk
