Local history and museums in the 21st century DESCRIPTION:As part of the Cambridge Festival\,  Mill Road History Society and The Museum of Cambridge present a talk by Roger Lilley\, looking at their history\, relationship and opportunities for the future\, as well as some of the interesting material in the Museum.  Roger is Chair of Trustees at MoC and an editor for the museum social history website\, Capturing Cambridge.\n\n\nRoger Lilley looks at the relationship between a local history museum and a local history group and the opportunities presented for their interaction. \nRoger will be talking about the Museum of Cambridge\, its history\, trials and tribulations and future development. He’ll be talking about the way it can interact with local history societies and in particular with the Mill Road History Society. He’ll look at their legacy to the Museum\, Capturing Cambridge\, and how the Museum has used that resource to widen its outreach and collect more resources. \nHe’ll also look at new material that the Museum has collected on people and events in the Mill Road area and talk about opportunities to enrich that collection of data further. In comparison\, he will look at other roads\, communities and villages in Cambridgeshire and how the Museum has and continues to play a role in fostering a knowledge of local history. \nHe will ask how communities such as those living in the Mill Road area would like to see the future of the Museum of Cambridge\, and whose responsibility it is ultimately is to ensure that its collection and influence continues into the 21st century. \nRoger is currently the chair of the Trustees of the Museum of Cambridge. He is a former Cambridge primary school teacher with a mixed background in classics\, religious polyphony\, catastrophe reinsurance and environmental campaigning. He’s lived in Cambridge for over thirty years and devoted himself to local history research for the last ten. \nThis talk is a joint venture between the Mill Road History Society and the Museum of Cambridge\, as a part of the Cambridge Festival. \n  \nDoors open at 7pn\, and the talk will start at 7:30pm.

The exhibit is now open and will be on display until Autumn 2024. \nThe exhibition highlights how textiles have been instrumental in self-expression throughout milestones in a person or communities’ life. Visitors will be taken on a journey which allows them to consider themes of education\, family-life\, disability\, and celebration\, and how these are expressed through textiles. \nThe exhibition features the Master’s Wives’ Quilt\, a quilt lovingly sewn square-by-square by over 200 women and girls including 13 wives of Cambridge College Masters in 1892 as a wedding gift for a royal prince\, a grandson of Queen Victoria. The needlework samplers on display are stitched by local Cambridge schools by girls as young as 11 years old\, and there are several embroideries created by recovering out-of-action soldiers at the First Eastern General Hospital in World War I. This exhibit will allow the opportunity to see a beautiful selection of textiles amongst those mentioned which tell a plethora of local tales exploring education\, disability\, and celebrations. \nDue to the nature of our 16th-century old building\, the Museum of Cambridge is not wheelchair accessible. However\, there will be a curator talk on this exhibit\, “Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability\, and injury” (Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability and injury Tickets\, Thu\, May 2\, 2024 at 1:00 PM | Eventbrite) that will be held in our hireable space\, which has level access\, and there is an accessible bathroom on site.

The Museum is open Monday\, Wednesday-Saturday 10AM-5PM and Sunday 11AM-4PM. Adult admission is £6\, and Student/Jobseeker admission is £4.5 to support us\, an independent Museum and charity.

It could have been patching up a hole in your favourite t-shirt\, popping a button back on your coat\, or maybe trying your hand at something a bit more ambitious\, such as an embroidery project or a quilt. \nAlongside the more practical uses of sewing\, textiles have been used for centuries as outlets for mental health\, mourning\, disability\, and injury. Beau Brannick\, the Museum of Cambridge’s Collections Officer\, and curator of ‘The Stories Behind the Stitches’ exhibition\, will discuss objects in the collection and exhibit which explore these themes. These range from embroideries stitched by injured and disabled out-of-action soldiers whilst residing at the First Eastern General Hospital to samplers stitched in memory of a lost loved one. \nDue to the nature of our 16th-century old building\, the Museum of Cambridge is not wheelchair accessible. However\, the talk will be held in our hireable space\, which has level access\, and there is an accessible bathroom on site. We are working on enhancing our accessibility\, and we recognise that this is a core development priority. This talk allows the Museum to discuss disability within the collection and share these objects and research in an accessible space. \nAbout the Speaker: \nBeau Branick is the Collection Officer at the Museum of Cambridge and Curator of their new exhibition\, ‘The Stories Behind the Stitches’ (Exhibition: “The Stories Behind the Stitches” – The Museum of Cambridge)\, which explores people’s connections and stories within the Museum’s textile collection. \nBeau is currently studying MA Queer History at Goldsmiths University of London\, with an interest in the intersections of queerness and disability. They are a keen textile enthusiast and have participated in projects such as co-curating the Norfolk Trans Joy Community Quilt. \n\n\n\n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge \nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge. We kindly suggest a donation of £7\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £6 for Adults\, £4.50 for Students/Jobseekers). Your donation supports the daily running and conservation care of the Museum\, an independent charity. \nNOTE: Eventbrite has changed its set up and now only allows one ‘donate as you feel’ ticket per purchase. Please kindly book tickets separately per email; the same email can be used. \n  \n\n\nAccessibility \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.
