A massive collection of historical
books, documents, periodicals and magazines, known as the
Peterborough Collection, was severely damaged by flood waters on
Thursday.

Head librarian Becky Rogers said the wave swept through the
building's lower level taking with it the Peterborough collection,
other books, computers, files, desks and chairs.

Museum co-ordinator Susan Neale said the Roy collection is on
wall racks in a special sealed vault and the extent of damage, if
any at all, isn't known yet.
