The enthusiasm for #History at this year's #HistDay25 is considerable and palpable.
History's popularity and appeal is an asset we must work with to better demonstrate the personal, professional, civic and social value of historical knowledge and understanding.

A selection of copied Library, Illustrations and Archives material dipslayed across a table with a black tablecloth. There are two upright perspex holders with advertisements for the current exhibitions at Kew "Flora Indica" and "Persia Reimagined". Botanical illustrations on the table are of a carnivorous plant, painted by Marianne North, and fly agaric mushrooms, drawn by Elsie Wakefield. Other items on the table are copies of a handwritten letter, a copy of Curtis' Botanical Magazine, a Rocque map of Kew Gardens, a colour chart by Burchell, as well as stacks of postcards and badges for visitors to take.
Today, our Graduate Trainees have been representing Kew Library & Archives for #HistDay25 at Senate House Library. It's been a great way to share highlights from our collections with potential students and researchers as well as discover more about other libraries and archives! #KewLA
