There are lots of ways to get involved in Curating Cambridge, from volunteering to sharing your stories, to taking part in specific events.
Collecting Collections
Did you collect as a child? Do you have a collection now? Tell us more!
Write a short paragraph on what the collection is and why you started it. Send your paragraph to us with a photo of you and/or your collection. Your contributions will become part of our Collection of Collections at The Campsite at Curating Cambridge half term events on Saturday 25 October and Sunday 26 October.
