Have you puzzled over old handwriting? Ever wondered if it's a L or a S or maybe a Q? This workshop teaches you the skills you need to read old handwriting with confidence. We'll look at different local and family history documents from a wide range of periods and learn how to approach palaeography and how to decipher the different styles of handwriting.
No prior skills needed. For anyone with an interest in reading old documents, whether these are accessed via the varied collections at St Helens Archive Service or elsewhere.
This event is made possible thanks to Lottery Players as part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund Creative Underground project, coordinated by St Helens Archive Service.
