The Cambridgeshire Collection

 

Established in 1855, the Cambridgeshire Collection is the county's principal Local Studies Library, containing a wide variety of material relating to Cambridgeshire. This includes books, journals, magazines, newspapers, maps, handbills, playbills, ephemera, and over 400,000 pictures. County histories, parish histories, family histories, archaeological reports and planning reports all form a major part of the Collection. Detailed catalogues and indexes to this material allow researchers access to the wealth of information. The book and illustrations catalogue can be viewed on line.
