Two SG60 history books, one panel: the people who dug through archives to piece together Singapore's founding stories, free at the National Library.
Two books that came out during last year's SG60 celebrations get a proper airing at the National Library, with the people involved in those projects sharing a panel. They talk through how they tracked clues, searched the archives and verified the facts before any of it went to print.
It runs Mon 16 Nov 2026, 6.30pm to 7.30pm — a single hour, free entry, and part of Singapore Writers Festival 2026. One for the history-curious, and for anyone who likes knowing how a story gets checked rather than simply told.
