Each box contains at least 25 items covering different aspects of life from a chosen period or a specific theme.

These objects can be used by teachers and pupils in a variety of ways, from a simple classroom display to a handling session onto sketching and describing the artefacts.  This information can then be collated for further use, (almost like an historical catalogue).

The contents can be used to make interesting comparative studies between the way our ancestors lived and the way we live now. In each box there are a number of artefacts that can be specifically associated with that era, and some of these artefacts can even be used to provide a practical living history experiment within the classroom. For example;

Write a letter on a Roman wax tablet

Play a Viking board game

Taste the spices of Tudor England

Make fire with a flint and steel

Boxes can be hired for 20 working days, which does not include weekends, school holidays and Bank holidays.
