The Museum was established in 2008 by the League of Antiquarians Members of the League of Antiquarians all have backgrounds in the provision of services to people experiencing substance use and mental health problems, and deliver training on this subject matter to other provider agencies. Training participants often expressed increasing interest in the historical context of substance use and as a result research was undertaken to explore these often hidden aspects of our society. The Museum and the website was established to understand this historical context further and to open the subject matter up more widely to the general public. The Museum in no way endorses the use of substances whether illegal or legal, neithere does it seek to condemn such activity. The Museum acknowledges that substance use has formed a part of the human experience for thousands of years, shaping much of our global culture throught different epochs. In response, the Museum seeks to understand the complex relationship that society has had with this often taboo subject, particularly throughout the last hundred years of prohibition across much of the globe. |
