This year's annual special guest lecture “Nelson the Admiral”, is presented by Dr Colin White, FSA, FRHistS, MA, Director of the Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth.
Colin’s presentation will look at Nelson's leadership qualities and analyses the reasons for his extraordinary success and achievements up to and including the Battle of Trafalgar.
Colin was educated at Southampton University, and at King's College, University of London, where he took an MA in War Studies. He joined the Royal Naval Museum as a research assistant, eventually becoming the Deputy Director and Head of Museum Services, with special responsibility for the Museum's ambitious Development Plan in 1995.
At the same time, he came to be recognised as one of the country's leading experts on Nelson and has published The Nelson Companion (1995) which is now a best-seller, in its third edition; 1797: Nelson's Year of Destiny (1998): and The Nelson Encyclopaedia (2002). In 2000, he was appointed Chairman of the Official Nelson Celebrations Committee, with responsibility for co-ordinating The Trafalgar Festival, an ambitious and successful national and international programme of events to mark the bicentenary of Trafalgar in 2005. He was also seconded to the National Maritime Museum Greenwich as Director, Trafalgar 200 to assist the Museum with planning its own 2005 initiatives: including a major exhibition, publications and special events.
Colin has recently published Nelson - The new letters which was awarded the ‘Distinguished Book Prize’ by the Society for Military History and Nelson the Admiral. In 2004, Colin was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters (DLitt) by the University of Portsmouth for his contribution to naval history and in 2006, was awarded the Desmond Wettern Media Award, “For being the most visible spokesman of Britain’s maritime interests in 2005”.
Colin is a well-known and popular figure on the lecture circuit, he regularly appears on radio and television talking about maritime affairs and in 2005 he presented his own series on Radio 4, Nelson: the latest news.
He was appointed Director of the Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth in June 2006. |
