value: The Graham Pollard Collection of Medals and Plaquettes, consisting of 276 medals and two plaquettes of the Renaissance and later. This was a selection made to complement the Fitzwilliam�s collection, chosen from a much larger number. His son, Lawrence Pollard, had already donated his papers, his slide collection and selected books and offprints. Graham Pollard (1929-2007) was the leading authority on Italian Renaissance Medals in the post-War period.  His entire career was spent at the Fitzwilliam Museum rising from a Gallery Attendant in 1947 to become Keeper of Coins and Medals (1966-1988) and Deputy Director (1969-1988). He was a founding member and the first Chairman of the British Art Medal Society in 1982. His publications include a three-volume catalogue of the Renaissance Medals in the Bargello Museum, Florence (1984-5), and two-volume catalogue of the Renaissance Medals in the National Gallery Washington (2007).  As a condition of the AIL allocation all items must be labelled �Accepted by HM Government in Lieu of Inheritance Tax and allocated to the Fitzwilliam Museum, 2009�.  Lawrence Pollard has given permission for his father�s name to be associated with the collection.
