Museum Frequently Asked Questions

I have some objects/papers that I want to give to the museum?

In general museums used to collect everything but they now specialise in objects. If newspapers/newspaper cuttings, the local studies section at the library may be interested in having them. Manuscripts would be taken by Berkshire Record Office. If an object, it would first need to be looked at by the Museum and Collections Officer before we can decide whether to keep it at the museum as we have very limited space.

Can I borrow some artefacts for my history group/school?
Can you help me to find out more about my ancestor?
