Other display items

 To create extra interest we also included some displays of wonderful photographs that are archived at the library.

The photographs near the display cabinet will be a semi permanent part of our exhibition.

We are now in the process of collating, adding extra images, cataloguing and creating a digital store of all the photographs we can find of Brackley's rich past.

If you have any images you would like to share, please do get in touch. Email info@brackleymuseum.uk 



For the launch weekend we also included some historical maps of Brackley which are part of the library's collection.
