Coming up at BRLSI
This is just a selection of forthcoming events - for this month's complete events programme see our What's On page, and for all this year's posters see our Poster Gallery
BRLSI Programme
We run a programme of over 150 lectures, readings and meetings each year, organised into groups covering subjects from Science and World Affairs to Philosophy, Poetry and the novels of Patrick O'Brian. Speakers range from leading academics talking about cutting-edge research to BRLSI members talking about subjects which have been their passions for a lifetime. We also run at least one major theme each year - in 2011 it's Perspectives on America. Everyone is welcome, both to come to our talks and to join in organising and giving them. An important feature of all BRLS lectures is Q&A - your chance to ask speakers, often world authorities on their subjects, the question you've always wanted to ask. For more information, see our What's On Page and Meeting Groups Section. 
BRLSI Collections
BRLSI has collections of natural history, geology, archaeology, and ethnology, plus a library containing historic books, many of them on natural history and Bath and its surrounding areas. We also have a collection of historic photographs, including many taken by the Rev. Francis Lockey, a mid 19th Century photographer from Bath. As well as cataloguing and caring for these collections, we also exhibit items from them at BRLSI and elsewhere. In the JESBI Project, a major collaboration with Bristol University, our collection of Jurassic period fossils from Strawberry Bank in Somerset is currently undergoing restoration. These specimens include many of world-class scientific interest. If you've got some specialist skills and you'd like to help out with our collections, contact our Volunteer Coordiator Gill Silversides at volunteers@brlsi.org. For more information, visit our Online Museum and see our Curator's Page and JESBI Project Pages.  The Jenyns Room
BRLSI's ground floor Jenyns Room is one of the finest gallery locations in Bath, on the west side of John Wood's Queen Square between the Royal Crescent and Pump Rooms. We run a year-round programme of exhibitions by our own Collections, other organisations, individual artists and artists' groups. The Gallery is available for hire on commercial terms, with special rates available to non-profit organisations. BRLSI is a member of Bath Galleries Group. For more information about current and future exhibitions, see our What's On Page.
