Talks will be given by Richard Brooks to mark the centenary of warship historian Fred T Jane’s death, and by University of Portsmouth archivist Anna Delaney on the history of the university.

A workshop on looking at Portsmouth documents of the 17th and 18th centuries, led by senior archivist Michael Gunton, will be held.
