The Insole Court Collection
Insole Court holds a focused collection of objects and documents related to the history of Insole Court and the lives that have been intertwined with it.
Our collections are managed by a small team of volunteer researchers whose role is to catalogue and preserve the collections, to improve and refine our archiving systems, and to facilitate access to the holdings, many of which are housed in our dedicated archive room. We have a variety of interested visitors ranging from researchers to artists to members of the public who have fond memories of Insole Court from their own past.
The collections maintain a symbiotic relationship with our researchers. In addition to our main collection we have a reference collection consisting of documents accumulated by the researchers during their investigations. Researchers also enjoy the use of our dedicated archive room to further their studies. The group meets here regularly to share their new discoveries leading to future avenues of examination.
Our collection includes:
- maps
- plans
- photographs and films
- digital files
- sound recordings
- minutes
- letters
- newsletters
- newspaper cuttings
- postcards
