The University of Cambridge holds exceptional museums and collections reflecting Cambridge’s position as one of the world’s leading universities.
The University collections form a research infrastructure that is unique to the Cambridge research environment. In the following pages you can find out more about research at each institution, as well as the under-researched areas of the collections that would provide the ideal focus for new collaborative projects. Choose a collection profile below to find out more.
The University collections are currently working together through the Collections-Connections-Communities (CCC) interdisciplinary research initiative. CCC supports, catalyses, and empowers communities of researchers who use the University’s collections to discover the past, learn about the present and act on the future.
Museum research and practice case studies are available on our Collections in Action blog.
