Dear All,
As you are probably already aware by now, Geevor Tin Mine is due to open a
new museum, Hard Rock, later this summer.
We are currently seeking to acquire or borrow the following objects to add
to our displays:
1. Objects reflecting the personal or social history of the people who
worked in the mines (clothing etc) 19th and 20th C. Mainly in the areas
around the St. Just Mining District.
2. Objects reflecting stories of 19th Century emigration, again mainly the
St Just Mining District.
3. Old tin cans - food stuff, cosmetics etc.
4. Old tin toys.
I have done a lot of research locally and apporached other local museums.
I am hoping this list will point me in some interesting alternative
directions.
If you can help at all please contact me directly at [log in to unmask] or
01736 788662.
Very many thanks and warm wishes,
Jo Warburton
Curator
Geevor Tin Mine
