MEMSFest was held on the 19\u201320 June at Woolff College, University of Kent. The organisers Emily and Vincent and the post-graduate team of helpers indulged attendees with two-days of seminars, talks and events by the MEMS postgraduates in considering how and why narratives were crafted, shared, and preserved throughout the medieval and early modern worlds.
