Contribute here
Here you can find the various collection centres across the country which will be delighted to welcome your donations of pictures, documents, memorabilia and ephemera - things both for display in the museum, but also held for researchers in the backroom archives.
Please drop a line first to the relevant email linked to below, and say what you have. This will help us reduce duplication. Much more importantly, this way you can arrange a mutually convenient drop off time in advance rather than possibly waste a trip.

The list is growing but there are at the moment still a lot of gaps. Ideally we'd love a drop off point in every county. Perhaps you might volunteer to help us out by filling one of them locally, if you have a bit of shed space?
Capturing the information
Of course make sure you have printed off and filled in the record sheet and attached it to your donation - the form can be found here. It will save a lot of time later, and ensure the historical significance and context of all the items are fully recorded for posterity.
Event drops
Additionally, the following organisations are signed up nationally to the collection scheme;
If you are a member of one of these, you can alternatively contact it in advance of any public meeting that is being held locally, to liaise over a possible hand over.
Trades unionists
Those engaged in the historic campaign by trades union campaigners can also help or arrange a drop off by contacting here.
Important and large collections
If you have for instance a large library on the EU that you no longer have space for, or have found a copy of the magna carta in your attic, please contact us directly...
