If you have anything you would like to donate to the Museum, please contact Jill Holmen, the Collections Manager. We welcome items that fit into our collecting policy. In short this means that items must have a local connection and should not duplicate material that we already hold (due to limited storage space). If we can’t accept your donation, we will help you find someone who can.

Identification Service

If you have any mysterious objects that you would like to find out more about, please bring them to the Museum (by prior arrangement only). We will do our best to identify them for you, but if we are unable to help, we will suggest other people or institutions that may be able to. Please note that we cannot provide valuations.
