Exhibition: Britain and the Far East

The Library's collections are particularly rich in material for the period 1800-1950 and the Britain and the Far East exhibition traces the development of a relationship based on trade and colonial aspiration, together with changes in power in the region that saw the end of Western imperial presence.

The exhibition is in the Special Collections Gallery (in the Hartley Library) and runs from 13 February to 7 April, 10:00-16:00 Monday to Friday.
