Gresham College Lectures

[Sheilbh]

I've only just discovered these and thought some of you may be interested (possibly Valmy, who's similar sites).  They were set up in 1597 to provide free public lectures in the City.  There's professors who are paid £50 a year and have to give six lectures a year, they're in these subjects:
Astronomy
Divinity
Mathematics
Law
Music
Medicine
Rhetoric
There's some series which look really interesting (Vernon Bogdanor's currently doing one on important non-PMs in the 20th century: Bevan, MacLeod, Joseph, Benn, Jenkins and Powell ) but lots of little oddities too.  Best of all, from my browsing this evening, it looks like all of them (limited selection back to 1986) have at least text, video or audio of the lecture.  Anyway someone may enjoy it:

Didn't realize that Valmy was a site, much less multiple sites.

£8 a lecture, I bet PDH makes more than that.

Not much more.  I am only an adjunct.
