SUMMARY:Metropolitan Science: London Sites and Cultures of Knowledge and Practice\, c. 1600-1800
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The London Archives as Rebekah Higgitt and Jasmine Kilburn-Toppin talk us through their new publication\, exploring distinctive practices in the artisanal\, mercantile\, and governmental sites of London. \nMetropolitan Science provides a new perspective on what is often known as the Scientific Revolution\, involving significant changes to understanding and exploitation of the natural world in the late 16th to 18th centuries. Rather than focusing on famous philosophers or learned societies\, it argues that institutions associated with commerce and trade\, as well as city and national government\, created unique environments for the production\, testing and use of knowledge. In London\, a growing centre of industry and empire\, such institutional sites brought together a wide and productive range of people\, projects and materials that made them both creators and users of new knowledge and practices. \nIn this talk\, co-authors Rebekah Higgitt and Jasmine Kilburn-Toppin will introduce the book and reflect on how they made use of archives at The London Archive and Guildhall alongside other sources to draw out the voices of artisans and reveal the roles of knowledge and skill. Through the use of case studies\, such as the Tower of London’s Royal Mint\, and the Livery Company Halls\, they examine the city’s sites of exchange for knowledge and practice and highlights the importance of both public and private spaces. \nAbout Metropolitan Science: \nBeginning with the demographics of London in the 17th and 18th centuries\, including its attraction of migrants\, importance as a centre of empire\, and the role of its institutions in government\, the authors analyse how and why London was a unique site of scientific activity. Through the use of case studies\, such as the Tower of London’s Royal Mint\, and the Livery Company Halls\, this book examines the city’s sites of exchange for knowledge and practice and highlights the importance of both public and private spaces. \nWith exploration of London’s military and colonial history\, the authors acknowledge how its port and maritime trade were not only central to growth and protection\, but also facilitated the organisation\, assessment\, valuation\, and pursuit of knowledge in the city. Ultimately\, this book demonstrates that London corporations produced unique knowledge communities that drew on networks across the city and beyond and uses a variety of spatial and material approaches to reveal the use\, representation\, and exchange of practice in these collective settings.

SUMMARY:Italian Renaissance Ceramics at Apothecaries Hall
DESCRIPTION:Italian Renaissance Ceramics at Apothecaries Hall\nTo be given by Justin Raccanello \nVisitors to Apothecaries’ Hall walk past its amazing collection of drug jars on every visit\, in the Shop\, the Armada Hall\, and the Parlour. A small number were made in London\, but the majority of the collection are Italian jars\, or albarelli. It’s easy to take them for granted. \nBut each one has a story to tell. There are tell-tale signs present on all of them that indicate their place of manufacture and who they were made for\, not just what they used to contain when in use in the Apothecary shop. \nAnd to unlock their stories we have Justin Raccanello. He specialises in early Italian ceramics\, exhibits at Frieze and TEFAF Maastricht and has written on the subject. He regularly takes part in London Art Week with new and tempting exhibitions. \nThis talk is the first in a series aimed at exploring different aspects of our wonderful collections. Join us to explore our own albarelli with Justin’s expert guidance.

SUMMARY:Heart Sounds: The Rise of Cardiology in Britain and the Evolving Role of Professional Medical Societies
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the historical evolution of cardiovascular medicine in Britain\, highlighting its development from early generalist medical practices to the groundbreaking contributions of British pioneers in diagnostics\, therapeutics\, and surgical innovations that transformed the global management of heart disease. It will examine how professional societies\, such as the Cardiac Club (founded in 1922)\, played a crucial role in fostering specialisation by setting clinical standards\, promoting research collaboration\, and spreading new knowledge. A key theme will be the value of oral history collections\, which capture the personal experiences and contributions of influential figures in the field. \nDr Caroline Coats MBBS BSc MSc PhD FRCP DHMSA is Consultant Cardiologist to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital\, Glasgow and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. She is Lead Clinician for the Network of Inherited Cardiac Conditions Scotland. Dr Coats also has a long-standing interest in the history of medicine\, completing the DHMSA in 2004 and now lecturing on the course herself. As Archivist to the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS)\, she has transformed the display of the Society’s unique collection and co-wrote an accompanying volume\, A Bundle of History.  Heavily involved in the centenary celebrations of the BCS in 2022\, she established an ongoing oral history project collecting testimony from those involved in cardiovascular medicine past and present. \nGeoffrey Flavell’s career as a thoracic surgeon spanned the development of the discipline from the surgical treatment of tuberculosis to cardiac surgery. He was born in Wellington\, New Zealand\, and attended Waitaki and Otago schools.

SUMMARY:Whitechapel Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Transforming the materials agenda for a sustainable planet: Opportunities and challenges\nSpeaker: Professor Mark Jolly\, FIMMM\, FICME\, CEng\, CEnv \nProfessor of Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing at Cranfield University \nWe live in a materials world. Everything we use is made from materials extracted from the planet. Yet\, our current way of making and using most materials follows a linear model: take\, make\, and dispose. This unsustainable approach is pushing the planet’s limits—if our production and consumption behaviours remain unchanged\, we would need 2.75 worlds to meet our demands. But we only have one. To secure a sustainable future\, we must transition to a circular materials world\, where we minimise the extraction of raw materials and maximise the reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling of existing materials. Achieving this transformation requires innovations in mindsets\, technologies\, business models\, and systems. \nThis lecture is part of an ongoing series of free online lectures hosted by the Worshipful Company of Founders\, to promote knowledge in materials and how they affect our lives.
