Collection Preview

Explore a preview of the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum online collection with more updates later this year.

Within the collection discover how a boy, who worked at a Blantyre mill in the Victorian era, went on to explore southern and central Africa, becoming in the process, a household name.

Here you can also meet the crew members, family and contemporaries who helped David Livingstone and study some of the artefacts that shaped their lives. The examples currently on show are only a small selection of the objects we care for.
