SUMMARY:Cambridge Talks: Pickwick's Cambridge Scrapbook
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second of our Cambridge Talks\, a series of events raising funds for the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou. \nWhen Samuel Pickwick visited Cambridge in 1838 he compiled a scrapbook of the folk he met and the things he saw. When he left\, his scrapbook remained\, and through Pickwick’s eyes we will explore Dickensian-era Cambridge. \nIn this talk\, Mike will be exploring some of what Pickwick’s imagined scrapbook might reveal of the Castle Hill area and the surrounds in the late 1830s. \nMike Petty is an eminent local historian of the city of Cambridge and the surrounding area. Founder of the Cambridgeshire Collection\, Mike has became the most widely acknowledged authority on Cambridge and the fenland\, building up a 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. \nYou can learn more about Cambridge’s history from the comfort of your home by visiting Cambridgeshire History on your Computer: the Library on your Laptop and The Cambridgeshire Scrapbook which summarises thousands of articles on Cambridge’s history. If you’re a Facebook user\, you can also join the Fenland History on Facebook group. \n  \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou\, which aims to help us overcome the huge financial blow dealt by the Covid-19 pandemic.    \nWe want to say a huge thank you to all our supporters who have helped us over the last few weeks and months.
