Welcome to Enfield Museum Service's Other Loan Boxes Page

On this page you will find information about the other Loan Boxes which are available from Enfield Museum Service.

Other Loan Boxes

Thanks to the generous support of the Clore Duffield Foundation, we have created ten loan boxes which contain smaller artefacts from the Handling Collection.

The boxes can be used to support teaching and learning in a range of curriculum areas.

Each box contains approximately 15 related objects and many have teaching resources designed by local teachers to get you and your students started.

Teachers' Resources

Teachers interested in using objects in their classes can download a copy of our teachers' notes for using objects in class (Word document, opens in a new window, file size = 1.87MB).

We are currently re-building these pages so that you can view the contents of all the boxes.

The images below show the 10 different boxes available. Please contact us for more details of what these boxes can be used for.
