Bringing People Together Through Learning
We wish to inspire audiences and contribute to life-long learning, helping people to understand and negotiate the complex world around them.
Preserve Our Collections
We store in excess of 30,000 items and records including a registered collection of artefacts, maps, books and uniforms of national importance. These are precious resources for historical research.
