Archives Open Day
March 27 @ 10:00 - 15:00
Thursday 27th March from 10am – 3pm
Join us as we once again delve into The Morrab Library’s archive collection to bring you some more of its treasures. The Archive Open Day will be held in the Reading Room between 10am-3pm on Thursday 27th March.
At this Open Day, you’ll be able to see a variety of fascinating items from our extensive paper archive collections. These include a section of a 14th century Papal Decree, beautiful bookplates designed by E.W. Oldham, an old Penzance train timetable, a 19th century map of the mining districts of West Cornwall, and much, much more.
These collections have been donated and collected over the last 200 years and this is an opportunity to get to know about the some of the important and special items we care for.
You don’t need to book, just drop in, and if you are inspired to make a donation towards the care of these incredible collections on the day, we would be very grateful.
