The Social History collection reflects the lives of Warwickshire people over the last 300 years. It includes costume and textiles, dolls and toys, and a variety of everyday objects from ploughs to plaster ducks! To develop the collection, we work with people of all ages and backgrounds to explore and collect aspects of life in Warwickshire in the 20th and 21st centuries.
