Description: | The museum has a large collection of social history material, mainly pre 1945 and containing over 40,000 items (many are cross-reference to other subject areas such as archives, photographic, industry etc.) There are general domestic items, architectural items, children's toys and the contents of local shops such as a tobacconist's. Focus in collecting has been on the development of collections which reflect the history, culture and heritage of Blackburn's South Asian population (specifically the Gujarat, Punjab and Bangladesh) and a large group of Bollywood film posters has been added to the collection. | Subjects: | Social History | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01254 695 370 | Telephone: | 01254 667 130 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:2220 | Go to resource |
