DETAILS:

There are treasures awaiting people

with an interest in history in whatever sphere.

Hundreds of thousands of fascinating

and valuable artefacts,

with origin and significance explained,

are on display in Cambridgeshire.

This booklet has been designed with the aim

of helping residents, students and visitors

to discover and enjoy,

not only the remarkable variety of collections

housed in the museums in Cambridgeshire,

but also to highlight the considerable differences

in their content, structure, and function.

The curators,

who share a professional enthusiasm for their task,

have compiled this guide in an effort

to promote the effective use

of the various rural, urban and university collections.

May I thoroughly commend this booklet

to “students” of all ages,

and to parents and teachers

who wish to stimulate interest in,

and enthusiasm for study of the past.
