Educational Articles

The National Cambridge Collectors publish a newsletter, the Crystal Ball once a month throughout the year. Many of the interesting and informative articles are of such general interest that we will try to post some of them here.

The Crystal Ball is one of the major benefits of membership in the NCC, and nearly all of the articles from past issues are located in the members-only section of this web site. That section is password protected, and you will be given the current username and password to access the members-only section, in your copy of the Crystal Ball when you join the NCC.

The articles below came from various back issues of the Crystal Ball and we have received permission from the authors to publish them here on the web.

Interviews with former Cambridge workers

In addition to the articles above, the Cambridge Cordials Study Group has conducted a number of interviews with former workers at the Cambridge factory. The workers tell about how it was to work there, and they include some interesting personal anecdotes that make the interviews both educational and amusing. These interviews were originally published in the Crystal Ball.
