School Loans Catalogue

This Collection includes: Boxed sets of original artefacts, replicas and Teachers' Notes on different themes. Information boards on local history to accompany the boxes (please request separately) many are recently updated. Costumes which are lent out in boxes: Anglo Saxons, Tudors, Stuart, Victorian (Children and Adult) Large objects, newspapers and magazines are for loan as separate items. 2

Borrowing the Boxes Each school or group can borrow one box plus one or two other items for three weeks at a time, subject to availability. In exceptional circumstances we can lend more than one box or set so please ask. For example, for a project on the 1950s, you may choose to borrow our box "History within Living Memory and a copy of the Sunday Express 1953. A full catalogue of the collection is set out on the following pages. Many of the objects lend themselves to handling sessions. They do not have information labels attached, since this can limit exploration and deduction by those using them. Instead, you will find a set of Teachers' Notes with each box. Boxes can be collected from the Museum during normal opening hours (10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays). Please ring in advance so that we can have them ready for you. Returned loans should be handed in at the Reception Desk at any time during Museum opening hours, on or before the due date. Please return them promptly, so that other schools and groups can benefit. We reserve the right to withhold individual items for use in exhibitions or handling sessions when necessary. We hope that you will enjoy using the collection and look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions for future improvements. 3
