The Davy Notebooks Project
Dear U3A member secretary,
I’m Dr Andrew Lacey, Senior Research Associate in the Department of English Literature and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. I found your e-mail address on the contact pages of the U3A website.
The Davy Notebooks Project (wp.lancs.ac.uk/davynotebooks) is currently doing some exciting research, with the help of the public, that may be of interest to your members. We and an international community of over 1400 volunteer transcribers are currently transcribing, using the people-powered research platform Zooniverse, Sir Humphry Davy’s (1778-1829) handwritten notebooks (around 70 in all), many of which have never been transcribed before.

We have had to cancel the October 
13th meeting due to a funeral at the club.
The Tech and Science plan will be shoved back accordingly.
Wed. 27th Oct – ‘it ain’t half hot mum‘ with Will Harley
Stone age Sefton talk
We have had an offer of a free talk ! Any one interested please ?
I would be happy to book them for the Tech and Science group but could add others
I am reaching out to local groups in the area to offer introductory talks about the heritage project the Lancashire Wildlife Trust have at Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve in Sefton. We are currently running a heritage project about the site called the Mesolithic and Modern Life project, engaging visitors and local communities with the fascinating wildlife, stone age archaeology and water management techniques that we have on our nature reserve.
