Space is limited for each tour group. Sign up to reserve your spot!

Join us for our lunchtime Brown Bag Talks!
A popular event for the Huntington research community, lunchtime "brown bag" talks provide an informal forum for registered researchers of all experience levels to present their work. Each researcher may give one talk in a six-month period, featuring scholarly, original research that directly utilizes or is based on the Huntington’s collections. Original research involves the discovery, interpretation, or analysis of primary sources, the development of new theoretical perspectives or methodological approaches, and the contribution of new insights to the field rather than summarizing existing knowledge. Presentations should not promote business interests or other non-scholarly topics.
Dates and speakers vary, so stay tuned to the Reader Services Newsletter for updates.
Interested in presenting your work? Take a moment to complete the Proposal Form below.
Date: Dates Vary
Time: 12 p.m.–1 p.m.
