Today is #NationalHaikuPoetryDay !

Our Archives Manager, Alan, is a bit of a poetry lover and has written his own Archive-related Haiku to celebrate the day:

Draining fens is hard
but sorting out their records
is even harder

This is a Public Service Announcement about wearing white cotton gloves when handling archives…

DON’T DO IT!

We rarely ask researchers to wear gloves at all but if handling photographs and negatives we use powder free nitrile gloves
#Archive30 #ArchiveMyths

Day 11 of #Archives30 is #UnusualArchives so we thought we’d showcase a recent collection that we’ve catalogued that is perhaps not what you’d usually expect to find in an Archives! The archives of the Cambridge Morris Men and Travelling Morrice !!!

Just one week before our Easter Holiday activities begin! Drop into Huntingdon Town Hall from 12pm - 3:30pm on Tues 2, Thurs 4, and Thurs 11 April to take part in free family craft activities. #easterholidays #kidsinmuseums
