The League of Antiquarians

The League of Antiquarians was established in 2008 in response to a paucity of accurate information pertaining to the history of substance use within society. Brought together through their interest in this field and their desire to counter act the moral panics which permeate modern society, the League oversee the development of the Museum collection and the website.
