Museum catalogue

 

The Museum is delighted to be able to offer online access to collections information through our online museum catalogue. This catalogue enables public access to the records stored in the Museum's centralised collections management database. Thousands of records are currently available online and the majority of these records have digital images attached.

The museum has over 5,000 objects in its care. You can read more about the history of the museum and its collections. Work is in progress to transfer earlier written records to the collection management database and from time to time the online catalogue is updated to reflect new records and images which have become available.

There are 10 collections currently available online, covering some 6,536 items:
