Our Up Close Day was held at the Sir Duncan Rice Library on Saturday 16 July 2022, almost four hundred years to the day since Edward Raban printed his first book in Aberdeen.  The well-attended event includes the main exhibition, a chance to get up-close with fourteen Raban works and speakers, Professor Paul Mitchell & Professor Peter Reid, Jane Pirie, Dr Anette Hagan, and Dr Alastair Mann.

 See the slides of Professor Paul Mitchell and Professor Peter Reid's presentation on new discoveries about Raban and his family.
