Summary
A stiff, covered, cardboard folder with red patterned sides and a blue spine, tied with black ribbon. Inside are two groups of sheets of paper stapled together. One describes a trip from Alfreton Secondary Girls' School to York and Saltburn from March 8th to 14th 1951, and the other a trip from March 19th to 24th 1950. In the London group there is also a photograph of the party. Each pupil on these trips wrote a paper on one aspect of the trip. Total number of items is 3.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by N. C. Cresswell. Archival records information - "The collection was established as a result of isolated gifts in the 1940's, and the 'savings' of certain school records (now passed to County Records) during wartime paper salvage." "During the 1950s it was L.E.A. practice to hold an Easter Course for teachers, and the County (Derbyshire) Museum arranged a special exhibition for teach course. As by the mid 1950s quite a collection had already accumulated, it was decided to produce an exhibition on the history of education with special reference to Derbyshire. Consequently, further material was purchased, from which items were selected. The exhibition was subsequently shown at a number of centres, and after disbandment, additions continued to be made with the aim of eventually producing a reconstructed classroom as a base for research. The Derby Bishop Lonsdale College of Education has frequently made use of the collection in various ways."
