Your visit
Report
Known as the Jewel of the Fens, Wisbech and Fenland Museum offers an inspiring visit - its interior Victorian Museum and library has survived intact since originally opening in 1847 as a purpose-built site for Wisbech Literary Society and Museum Society collections of ethnography, natural history, geology, archaeology, decorative arts and paintings.
Collections
Report
Today we collect, care for and interpret the natural and cultural heritage of Wisbech and the surrounding Fenland. These collections comprise agricultural implements, drainage tools, hunting and fishing equipment and as such reflect Fenland culture and economy up until mechanisation in the mid 20th century.
Archives
Report
The Museum holds a substantial archive containing the following resources: parish registers, local government records, manorial records, directories, photographs, maps and more. We have around 650 historic maps and plans of Cambridgeshire and the Fens, the earliest of which dates back to c. 1590. In this collection autograph means 'hand writing' and not, as it is commonly understood to mean, 'signature'.
