Barbara Ronchetti also maintained scrapbooks containing approximately 900 postcards and photographs depicting representations of children, childhood and dolls.
The Collection is held in Bredon 029 at the University of Worcester. To arrange a visit contact the Research Librarian Dr Rachel Johnson on r.johnson@worc.ac.uk or telephone 01905 542093.
