On 27 November 2019 the Ulster Historical Foundation held a fundraising event in Belfast. The event invited reputable historians to speak on the age of Enlightenment and explore Belfast’s connection to the wider world during the ‘Age of Reason’.
These lectures were recorded and are now being made available to our Guild Members.
