Library

Over the years we have collected a large range of books focused on Archaeology and History. These are available to all our Members. By the kind permission of the Colchester Archaeological Trust, our Library is based at Roman Circus House. In 2024 the Library moved to a more accessable location downstairs in the Cafe/stage area.

The current 2024 index is now available here as pdf’s:

 

CAG Collection of Aerial Photos

CAG now has a collection of nearly 3000 digital aerial photos dating from the 1970s to almost the present day. The bulk of the images were taken by Ida McMaster between about 1970 and 1990, with many more from David Grayston and others. They cover mainly North-East Essex and South Suffolk and are particularly useful for identifying crop-marks. The list is fully indexed, by OS grid reference, parish and feature type. It is free to CAG members on production of a memory stick to copy it to. Please e-mail ten.kugacnull@seiriuqne
