2023 marked the centenary of Cyril Fox's celebrated book The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region which was based on his Magdalene and Cambridge PhD of 1922. This seminal work introduced several innovations within archaeology, including the landscape perspective which has become a standard means of thinking and presenting the past in archaeology. In 1932 Fox wrote another important work called The Personality of Britain. Together these volumes emphasize the enduring relationship between archaeology, geography, landscape and environment.

The exhibition drew on these two volumes, alongside other materials, to look at two themes, Fox’s personality and the legacy of his research, both focused on his short, but important, Cambridge experience.
