If you're visiting the History Centre, make sure you have a look at our mini exhibitions! In the arcade you can see facsimiles of items in our collections, while original items are in the library.

Current mini exhibitions in the library

Sister Agnes Walsh

In the library we have the story of Sister Agnes Walsh (1896-1993), a nun in the Daughters of Charity who was instrumental in saving the lives of a Jewish family in France in 1944. She was later honoured as Righteous Among the Nations. Curated by her great-nephew Ian Judson.

Current mini exhibitions in the arcade
