Scrapbooks: A Simple Pleasure

Exeter Cathedral Library & Archives, Palace Gate, Exeter, EX1 1HY
Scrapbooks: A Simple Pleasure

About

This event is a celebration of the enduring joy and historical value of scrapbooking.

The scrapbooks in the Cathedral Archives are a treasure-trove of cuttings, cartoons, letters, autographs, photographs, postcards and memorabilia all lovingly collected by Cathedral staff, volunteers and admirers.

Together they form a fabulous record of daily life and big events at the Cathedral throughout the 20th century. Join us as we turn the pages of some vintage sugar-paper books, vinyl-coated albums and hand-stitched booklets to explore the delights within.

Tuesday 19 August 2025 in the Cathedral Library and Archives Reading Room. Drop in between 1pm and 3pm.
