About this event
This exhibition commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, using the archive and rare book collections held by the University of Nottingham's Manuscripts and Special Collections. It explores the issues at stake in the Wars of Independence and the complex problems which faced the American colonists who rebelled against British rule as they fought to win, and realise, their new-found freedom.
This exhibition has been jointly curated by Dr Richard Gaunt (School of Humanities) and Manuscripts and Special Collections at the University of Nottingham.
