About us
As part of the city's programme to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe, we're hosting a special pop-up display in our Cottonian Research Room.
Come and take a look at images from the archives and selected items from the costume collection including our 'Dig for Victory' dress.
Browse our Active Archives gallery too, which includes key facts and figures about the Blitz in Plymouth, the famous Bomb Book and a series of display cases from the 'Jyll Bradley: Running and Returning' exhibition, many of which relate to the Second World War. Bradley's adoptive grandfather was a volunteer Fire Guard in Plymouth during the Blitz and even kept his own scrapbook about it.
