SUMMARY:Annual Appeal: 'Cambridge per diem' with Rosie Zanders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special talk with Rosie Zanders\, author of Cambridge per diem\, to help us raise money for our Annual Appeal.\n‘Cambridge per diem: A daily chronicle of Cambridge connections’\n Rosie has long been fascinated by Cambridge time and the personalities who have travelled through it. Time is a recurrent theme of this illustrated talk; Rosie will share some personal reflections on the passing of time\, whilst focusing on some notable Cambridge personalities. There will be a special mention\, of course\, of Cambridge connections on 5th October\, the day of this talk. \nAttendees will also have the chance to purchase a signed copy of Rosie’s book. \nAbout Rosie Zanders \nRosie is a recently retired Cambridge Blue Badge tourist guide. A love of travel and meeting people led Rosie to a long career in the tourist industry\, starting with coach tours across Europe to Austria and the south of France\, before qualifying as a Blue Badge guide in London\, specialising in conference programmes and in-house tours of Spencer House. More recently\, as a co-owner and subsequent sole director\, of Cambridge Tailor-Made Tours\, she has focused on arranging and conducting personalised\, tailor-made tours for small family groups and private clients. Her other passion\, for reading and language\, began with the study of medieval and modern French language and literature at UCL and culminated in the writing of several popular books on Cambridge. Her most recent publication is Cambridge per diem – a daily chronicle of Cambridge connections (Merak Publishing\, Nov. 2021); it contains an eclectic mix of Cambridge-related anniversaries\, at least one for every day of the year. \nAll of your donations towards this event will support our latest Annual Appeal – more details can be found on our website. Thank you in advance for your kind generosity! \nBooking is via Eventbrite. \nIf you have any accessibility requirements for this event\, please don’t hesitate to email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk. or call 01223 355159 and ask for Annie. \nThere will be photography at this event – if you’d like to opt out of photography\, just add a note to your booking and let us know on the night. \nAnnual Appeal: Saving Our Stories\nBehind every single object in our Museum are a whole host of fascinating stories; the story of the person who made it\, the person who used it – or even the person who found it in a basement and gave it to the Museum.  \nCollections care and conservation is a complex and costly business\, requiring specialist equipment\, training\, extensive staff and volunteer time\, and substantial storage space – not to mention extremely high utility bills. \n So today\, we’re asking you for your help. Please help us keep our collections safe so that the unique stories each object tells can be handed down to future generations.  \nYou can find out more about our appeal on the Support Us tab.

SUMMARY:Annual Appeal: 'From Papua to Pampisford' -the origins of the 'Folk Museum' with Becky Proctor
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk from the wonderful Becky Proctor in support of our 2022 Annual Appeal. This is a special event just for Friends of the Museum of Cambridge. You can sign up to become a Friend here.\n “From Papua to Pampisford” – the origins of the Folk Museum in 1930s Cambridge.\nWhen renowned archaeologist Sir Cyril Fox officially opened the Cambridge & County Folk Museum in November 1936 he noted in his opening address\, “I am inclined to think that in the University of Cambridge there is more exact knowledge of the social anthropology of\, let us say\, Papua\, than of Pampisford.” Save for its archaeology\, Pampisford\, like other Cambridgeshire towns and villages\, would have rarely featured in the collections or research interests of any one of the University museums at that time. This talk describes how a dynamic group of local people established the Folk Museum to preserve and display objects to reflect the lives and traditions of local people for future generations. \nAbout Becky Proctor \nBorn and brought up in Cambridge\, I spent more than 16 happy years at the Folk Museum as Assistant Curator\, during which time we completed the huge redevelopment project\, which opened to the public in 2005. I’ve worked at Royal Papworth Hospital as Heritage Officer since 2009\, in combination with some varied roles delivering community and oral history projects. Museum work is always varied\, from posing mannequins at Burwell Museum to training retired firefighters in cataloguing skills at Kent Fire Museum. In 2020 I had the pleasure to edit the book ‘Brush with the Past’ by Allan Brigham\, and I continue to write and deliver history talks to local groups.  \nAll of your donations towards this event will support our latest Annual Appeal – more details can be found here\, on our website. Thank you in advance for your kind generosity! \nIf you have any accessibility requirements for this event\, please don’t hesitate to email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk. or call 01223 355159 and ask for Annie. \nThere will be photography at this event – if you’d like to opt out of photography\, just add a note to your booking and let us know on the night. \nBooking is via Eventbrite. \nAnnual Appeal: Saving Our Stories\nBehind every single object in our Museum are a whole host of fascinating stories; the story of the person who made it\, the person who used it – or even the person who found it in a basement and gave it to the Museum.  \nCollections care and conservation is a complex and costly business\, requiring specialist equipment\, training\, extensive staff and volunteer time\, and substantial storage space – not to mention extremely high utility bills. \n So today\, we’re asking you for your help. Please help us keep our collections safe so that the unique stories each object tells can be handed down to future generations.  \nYou can find out more about our appeal on the Support Us tab.

SUMMARY:Annual Appeal: 'A Fenland History Saver Shares All'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with renowned historian and researcher Mike Petty\n‘A Fenland History Saver Shares All’\nCutbacks and Covid-19 have greatly impacted access to the resources available to local historians for researching Cambridgeshire’s heritage. \nMike Petty became interested in the history of his home village of Stretham more than 70 years ago. \nWhile Librarian of the Cambridgeshire Collection he transformed a uncatalogued resource amassed since 1855 into a specialist library used by 1\,000 people a month. \nSince ‘retirement ‘ 25 years ago Mike has continued to share resources through posts to 10\,000 followers of his Fenland History on Facebook group and providing access through Internet Archive to Cambridgeshire books\, newspapers\, illustrations\, maps and audio files that have been consulted by 150\,000 researchers across Cambridgeshire and around the world\, including over 70\,000 users during the period of Covid lockdown.  \nThis evening he will reflect on Mike’s work over the years with plenty of time for audience questions! \nAbout Mike Petty \nIn 1964 Mike Petty discovered tucked away in a back room of Cambridge Library a collection of books\, newspapers\, maps\, illustrations and ephemera on Cambridgeshire. It had been carefully collected for 110 years – but nobody had had the chance to sort it. \nOver the next 30 years Mike transformed it into the Cambridgeshire Collection\, taking it into a separate suite in the new Central Library in Lion Yard. Over that time he became the most widely acknowledged authority on Cambridge and the fenland building up unique knowledge of resources which he continues to share through regular lectures to groups and societies. \nHis wide experience in assisting thousands of enquirers for over 50 years and unrivalled knowledge of published material – books\, newspapers\, illustrations\, maps etc – combine to provide a unique service for those investigating any aspect of the area\, past or present. More details are contained on his website – www.mikepetty.org.uk \nAll of your donations towards this event will support our latest Annual Appeal – more details can be found here\, on our website. Thank you in advance for your kind generosity! \nIf you have any accessibility requirements for this event\, please don’t hesitate to email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk. or call 01223 355159 and ask for Annie. \nThere will be photography at this event – if you’d like to opt out of photography\, just add a note to your booking and let us know on the night. \nAnnual Appeal: Saving Our Stories\nBehind every single object in our Museum are a whole host of fascinating stories; the story of the person who made it\, the person who used it – or even the person who found it in a basement and gave it to the Museum.  \nCollections care and conservation is a complex and costly business\, requiring specialist equipment\, training\, extensive staff and volunteer time\, and substantial storage space – not to mention extremely high utility bills. \n So today\, we’re asking you for your help.

SUMMARY:The Bootlegging Waiter: A Story of Celebrity\, Class\, and Creativity in the 1930s with Dr. David Cowan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with the Cambridge historian Dr. David Cowan. \n‘The Bootlegging Waiter: A Story of Celebrity\, Class\, and Creativity in the 1930s’\nArthur Henry Timmins\, a waiter born in Southampton in 1907\, burst into the pages of British newspapers in the late 1930s as the author of an autobiography and\, soon after\, a novel. A literary celebrity in the era before television\, his works drew on his experiences serving customers in British hotels\, cruise ship restaurants across the Atlantic\, and illicit bars in Prohibition-era America. Dealing with still-resonant questions around tips and labour\, Timmins’s writings drew attention to the exploitative conditions of service staff in the wake of the Great Depression. But it was a chance encounter in a restaurant with a customer that gave Timmins the confidence – and the opportunity – to break into London’s literary world. \nAbout Dr. David Cowan \nDr. David Cowan teaches modern British history at Trinity Hall\, Cambridge. He is a prize-winning historian of twentieth-century Britain. David’s recent article\, ‘Nostalgia\, Community\, and Late Twentieth Century Television’ is available online and is free to access. \nAll of your donations towards this event will support the Museum.
