DESCRIPTION:Join us for Cambridge Talks\, a series of events raising funds for the Museum of Cambridge. \nJoin us as eminent local historian\, Mike Petty takes us on a tour of his chronicle of Cambridge\, 1888-1990\, as reported in local newspapers. \nTo compile this chronicle\, Mike read more than 100 years of Cambridge newspapers and noted ‘significant’ articles. These are summarised under 100 headings including museums\, shops\, pubs\, military conflict\, customs\, street changes\, theatre\, music and religion.  \nAs well as summaries of stories the Chronicle has links to photographs of the thousands of the actual articles as published in the newspapers.  \nIt is a source from which people interested in any aspect of the city’s history can find information not accessible elsewhere . In this talk\, Mike will explore the story behind the creation of this chronicle\, and some notable highlights from his research. \nYou can find the full chronicle here. \nMike Petty\, MBE is an eminent local historian of the city of Cambridge and the surrounding area.
