A #PopularItem from our collections is this painting of the proposed City Hall from c.1910. We have a copy of it on our wall. Not only is it colourful, it always gets people talking. It wasn't built due to Mr Caird's gift of £100,000 to build the simpler Caird Hall. #Archive30

This early 18th century herbal notebook is a very #PopularItem in our collection. It has cures for everything from hiccups to the plague (and the odd cake recipe too). It's also shrouded in mystery - who was the author?!

One of our most popular collections is D595 Inland Revenue: Derbyshire Valuation Offices. Whilst the title is not riveting, the collection contains maps and schedules giving extensive information about the owners and occupiers of land and property just prior to WW1.

One of our more popular items are our books of attestation signatures. Those for 1958-2003 are digitised and available by email, whilst those from 2003 almost up to the present were recently donated to us. (Pre-1958 ones are at the National Archives.) #PopularItem #Archive30 #WomensHistory
Handwritten page from the first page of the attestation register for Met women officers, showing the first three ever to be attested (i.e. given power of arrest). This occurred on 19 April 1923 and oddly they did not start with warrant number 1, but instead repurposed their 1919-1923 ID numbers of 76, 118 and 120.

This is definitely a #PopularItem with staff, volunteers and visitors! The massive mammoth tooth which was discovered in Oxfordshire in the 1960s. It is hard to tell from this photo just how large it is but to give you some idea, it takes at least two hands to lift it.

Ordnance Survey maps are often looked at in our Searchroom and are definitely a #PopularItem. This example is slightly less usual, as it's from the 1960 geological survey. Apart from being interesting, we think they're beautiful 😍

A printed map showing the area around Scarcliffe and Glapwell. Different areas are in different colours and there is a key for the colours and for all the symbols on the map. The main colour is pale blue, which indicates an area of limestone.

Our #PopularItem is C18th-19th Sun Fire Office policy registers! Fire was a real threat to property so many took out insurance against it. They weren't just insuring buildings either, here's a 1793 policy for Gilbert Pidcock who has insured a rhino. Yes, you read that correctly... 🦏 📖 #archives30
Photo of policy number 614342 from a Sun Fire Office policy register. The date of the policy, 23 April 1793, is at the top. The policy reads 'Gilbert Pidcock at the Exhibition Room over Exeter Change in the Strand. On a Rhinoceros & Carriage for the same travelling about the country for exhibition not exceeding two hundred pounds'.
