🔎Did you know we have cannulas in our collections? 🧪For today's #WeirdWednesday post, we spotlight these sample cannulas from 1978. These were modified & produced especially for clinical research which led to the development of IVF.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of the author Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE, and recall with fondness her visit to Cambridge. In 2016, Barbara presented the Archives Centre with a letter she received from Clementine Churchill when she was 9 years old.

#OTD 150 years ago, Winston Churchill was born. It is well known that we hold papers documenting Churchill's wartime efforts but did you know we have lots of family papers. Exploring them can be a daunting task so our research guide should help! buff.ly/3vGUUBb
