About this listen

This week we are joined by Olivia Gecseg, Visual Collections Records Specialist at The National Archives (TNA), who shares stories from their perhaps lesser-known Visual Collections, including some Victorian creative problem-solving to odour. We'll learn more about some of the visual material that TNA hold, why they have them, and how you can explore them!
