Our modern museum dates back to 1836 when a group of local gentlemen established the Warwickshire Natural History and Archaeology Society.
Mainly doctors, lawyers and clergymen interested in the natural history, geology and archaeology of their county, they bought and were given books as well as objects.
Over the next century, the Society formed an extensive library. Using these pages, you can explore some of their books in more detail.
