Collections


A survey was conducted to identify relevant private and public collections held in archives, libraries, museums and other sources.

It found a range of material about fox hunting but a lack of material relating to the anti-hunt lobby.  Melton Carnegie Museum is trying to rectify this situation but it relies on the cooperation of groups and individuals.

For more information or to tell us about other collections or material please contact the Keeper on tel. 01664 569946 or email museums@leics.gov.uk.
