The first of our summer symposiums, held as part of our major exhibition, comprised two introductory talks.

The first, covering the transformation of Sikhs from independent warriors to empire's soldiers, was delivered by collector and historian Davinder Toor.

The Project Historian, Parmjit Singh, discussed how we aim to tell the untold stories of those men and their families with the help of the public in the role of Citizen Historians.
