Discovering Witches: The Real Records and Manuscripts Seen in Movies, Books, and TV Shows Virtual

Witches are iconic figures in popular culture. They appear in some of your favorite silver screen and streaming media shows alongside archaic books and strange texts. In this program, we’ll uncover the real records and printed resources seen in your favorite shows, what the writers used as inspiration, and how to access historical resources for free from home. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or an armchair historian, bring your curiosity and your questions to this program!
