The Birth of High-Tech Cambridge:
Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company
Written and presented by Morgan Bell
Produced by Gordon Davies
Join the Cambridge Museum of Technology on Monday 13 July 2020, 7.45pm BST as it continues a series of volunteer-produced public webinars.
Before taking up her current post (Collection Manager at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science.), Morgan Bell spent almost three years as Assistant Curator at Cambridge Museum of Technology. During this time she researched the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company and produced our new displays on the firm.
Morgan's illustrated presentation will cover the history of the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company from its early days at the end of the 19th century through to its takeover in 1968, and its innovations that put Cambridge technology on the map.
