Penpont Archives

The Project is keen to extend its collection of memorabilia relating to Penpont and the surrounding area. In addition, materials and information relating specifically to Joseph Thomson would be most welcome. Please do email us if you feel that you have any material which would be of interest to us.

Sales

The Project already has amassed a considerable collection of material relating to Penpont  and the surrounding area and also to Joseph Thomson. Copies of this material is available at a modest cost.

The Project also has available electronic copies of Joseph Thomson's book 'Through Masai Land'.
