Description

Frederick Corbin Lukis, antiquarian and polymath, lived in Guernsey in the Channel Islands from 1788-1871. This book is the result of many years

research on his archive held at Guernsey Museum and draws heavily on the material therein, highlighting it to both the general reader and the academic

world. It includes an initial look at the history of antiquarianism and the development of archaeology as a discipline with particular reference to the

nineteenth century. The development of archaeological study in Guernsey and the development of the museum service are documented, alongside a

biography of Lukis's life in the context in which he grew up.

The book includes several illustrations from the museum collections and although the content is based on research it is suitable for readers with an

interest in the history of archaeology, museum collections and antiquarianism. This is widely recognized as a growing area of interest in heritage studies.
