BRLSI Proceedings

ProceedingsThe record of past events at BRLSI

The BRLSI Proceedings is our annual printed volume of reports from our lecture and discussion group Programme, as well as details of exhibitions and work in our Collections. Over 800 articles from Proceedings volumes, from 1997 to 2006, are also available here on the BRLSI website.

We are currently working to reformat and catalogue these articles, so that you'll be able to see, for example, all the Science lectures for the available years. We'll also be adding articles from Volume 11 (pictured). In the meantime Proceedings articles are divided into years - there's lots to see, and you can choose SEARCH from the menu bar to find topics (or speakers) of interest across the whole of the BRLSI website.

Curatorial Curiosities

Cave bear canine

Cave bear canine: Ursus spelaeus was a common European bear during the ice ages, it was at least equivalent in size to the largest of modern bears, the Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), if not larger. Their remains are found most commonly in caves, and this specimen was found in Wookey Hole in the Mendips, Somerset.
