HODS 24 Curiouser and Curiouser: a Route to Berwick’s Roots through a New Cabinet of Curiosities from the Berwick Archives

Experience Berwick’s historic characters through our fascinating archives. See how Berwickers formed connections both in the town and the world beyond from accounts of world travel, artistic expression, and even the supernatural! Before the internet and television, just how did the average person connect to the outside world? What interested and excited them, and how did they respond to the unknown? Come and see our display of travel diaries from far and wide, beautifully illustrated family letters, cryptic shorthand, advice for Ghost Busting and sixteenth-century accusations of witchcraft. This is a real opportunity to see some of the curiosities that Berwick Archives has to offer.
