#ExploreYourArchive #LoveArchives Strangest enquiry this week @britishmuseum #archive: did George Wilson, the Blackheath Pedestrian, donate his toenails to the Museum in 1815? Here’s an image of him from the collection, but I can’t find any reference to his toenails...thankfully!

#Archive30 #SomethingFun While excavating in Iraq in 1933, former @britishmuseum trustee Max Mallowan and his wife #AgathaChristie were keen to entertain the workers. They organised a race, with prizes & even formed an Amateur Athletic Assoc! Here is the race & the prize giving!

#Archives30 #ArchiveBuilding #britishmuseum #archives The @britishmuseum archive is stored in the main BM building and some of it relates to the building itself. This shows the building works to repair the Iron Library in 1951 after bomb damage during WWII. #BritishLibrary

@MikeRoyden @britishmuseum @ww2 Devastating. The BM suffered a lot of damage too, and many books were lost...these are the ones which were salvageable.

#ExploreYourArchive2018 #archive @britishmuseum This photo from the BM archive shows a couple watching TV in 1950. They’re watching the first ever live TV screening from the Museum featuring the helmet from the Sutton Hoo ship burial, just seen in the picture.
