The Social History collection reflects the lives, past and present, of Warwickshire people. It includes costume and textiles, dolls and toys, and a variety of everyday objects from ploughs to plaster ducks! The oldest item is a man’s embroidered shirt from c. 1610, and the newest is a ‘Bratz’ doll from 2007. Using a variety of resources, we work with local people of all ages and backgrounds to explore, collect and record different aspects of life in Warwickshire in the 20th and 21st centuries.
