Derbyshire Record have a rather curious collection of little objects that relate to the life of Lady Jane Franklin, who the second wife of a famous Polar explorer but was an important woman in her own right. In this episode we talk to Ruth Larsen (University of Derby) about Lady Jane's Museum and women as collectors and curators of family history.

You can see a wonderful online exhibition of Lady Jane's Museum on Derbyshire Record Office's Google Arts and Culture pages.

Lady Franklin's Lament' (trad) instrumental and vocals by Ewan D. Rodgers and Clare Mosley.
