QE Capturing Our History

Queen Edith’s Community Forum

Queen Edith's Communtiy Forum

The contribution of  information about the Queen Edith’s area of Cambridge City to the Capturing Cambridge Project is an initiative of the Queen Edith’s Community Forum.

We are very grateful for the existence and support of a number of organisations, individuals and institutions for the collection of resources that we have been able to make use of. In particular the Cambridgeshire Collection at the Central Library in Cambridge, the National Newspaper Archive and the work of local historian Mike Petty.

There is a volunteer local editor for the Queen Edith’s section of this site, Roger Lilley. Suggestions, corrections and contributions can be sent to him on:

queenedithshistory@gmail.com

We are particularly looking for historical photographs of the area and also for those who have personal reminiscences of life in the area and who are willing to have these published on the site.

Our aim to create a community resource that will reflect the diversity and traditions of this part of the city.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
