The Centre for Scottish Studies at the University of Guelph invites you to attend the launch of Truth or Treason? Sources for the Study of the Jacobites, an exhibit of some of the University's outstanding array of Jacobite-related materials that speak to the complexity of the Jacobite movement, the deep divisions it generated, and broad alliances in which it was implicated. The event is being held in-person and is also being livestreamed on Zoom. You will be able to join the online session beginning at 2:30pm (EDT), 30 minutes before the official program starts. If you have trouble connecting, please make sure you are joining at the correct time and are logged on to your Zoom account. Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/99027646066
