Archive Displays

Skip main menu

All displays relate to Cumbria (except *) and are based around high quality images of original archives from our 4 Archive Centres.   Each display consists of a number of laminated panels that can be mounted on walls/boards.  

Although the displays have been produced for secondary schools they can be successfully used with younger audiences with some interpretation.  Loan is free of charge but schools must arrange for the collection and return of panels to and from their local Archive Centre (Barrow, Carlisle, Kendal, or Whitehaven)

To check the availability of the panels, please return this form (PDF)this document will open in a new window to one of the Archive Centres and they be pleased to make the necessary arrangements or offer an alternative booking slot.

Themed displays can be borrowed for:

  • Slave Trade
  • World War I    
  • World War II
  • Poverty in Cumbria 
  • 1947 William Pit Coal Mine Disaster, Whitehaven*
