Heading north from Cardiff to Durham University, I wanted to continue the theme of how items enter collections for #RLUKCollections and their wide variety
For some of @dulib collections the connection is obvious. As a well-established university in a powerful and often rich ecclesiastical centre there are the illuminated manuscripts and items reflecting the history of the region that you might expect
But then some items have a less immediately connection with Durham – a significant Sudan Collection from the days of empire and, intriguingly, the archive of the Cremation Society of Great Britain!
