Context (Other owners)
In 1899 Cole Ambrose purchased Marshall Fisher's collection, which had constituted the Ely Museum from 1842 until Fisher's death in January 1899, which joined his collection at Stuntney Hall until his own death. In 1922 a selection of material from Ambrose's collection were purchased by MAA (see Doc.473), including some from Marshall Fisher's Ely Museum. However, any documentation accompanying the Fisher objects to Stutney Hall were missing by 1922, so ascertaining which of the Cole Ambrose Collection were originally collected by Fisher, and displayed in the Ely Museum, is difficult. (see Holeman, N. (1992). 'A Different Kind of Cambridge Antiquarian: Marshall Fisher and his Ely Museum'. Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, 79. pp. 82-92).
