Friday update from library and museum …

Last week the museum here are the Museum of English Life and Special Collections closed down for refurbishment; the work will take about a year.  While the museum is out of bounds, the Reading Room is still in use and visitors are welcome to request archival materials, rare books from Special Collections and also use the library containing periodicals and books relating to all aspects of English rural life.

This post is just say life goes on at Special Collections and should you visit us you can be sure of a warm welcome.  I will try and keep you posted as regards correct events and the on going works along with my usual snapshots of items in our rare collections.
