SUMMARY:Does Mill Road matter? 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. Entry is free and open to all. Booking is recommended via an email to bookings@millroadhistory.org.uk but everyone is welcome on the night subject to space. \n  \nLocation: \nMill Road Community Centre \n6 Hazell Street \nCambridge CB1 2GN \nUnited Kingdom \nMore information is available at: https://millroadhistory.org.uk/event/does-mill-road-matter-local-history-and-museums-in-the-21st-century/

Your ticket supports the continued running and conservation care of the Museum and its objects and includes the Museum’s entry fee (usually £6/Adult\, £4.5/Student and Jobseeker\, free for those under 16). \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Conservation in Action?\nDo you ever wonder how the objects in Museums get cared for? Well now you can find out! \nEvery Thursday\, the Museum of Cambridge has a team of talented collections volunteers who are supported by the Museums Collections Officer Beau in completing an ambitious on-display audit of the collection. \n\nThe on-display audit involves cleaning objects with a specific set of equipment and skills which the volunteers are taught. The objects are cleaned\, documented\, and marked with their accession numbers. You can pop in the Museum every Thursday and find volunteers hard at work and happy to chat and discuss what they are up to! \n\n  \nA big thank you to the Foyle Foundation who have funded the post for our Collections Officer which has allowed this project to run. \n\n  \nThings to note: \n\n\n\nAccessibility\nThe Museum of Cambridge is unforutunately not wheelchair accessible\, which you can read about our accessibility information (Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge) on our website.  If you’d like to chat through any accessibility requirements\, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 01223 355159 or email sumyin.wong@museumofcambridge.org.uk.
