Donate An Object

The museum has built up diverse collections over the past 180 years but we are still actively collecting. We are very grateful to those who donate objects to our collection.

However, the cost of caring for our collections is high and we have limited storage space. For this reason, we are not able to accept everything that is offered to us. We carefully assess each object offered to ensure that it fits in with our collecting policy, that it is in good condition and that it does not duplicate material we already have.

If you would like to offer an object to the collections, please contact the museum before bringing the object in to us. It is helpful if you can email us a photograph of the object too.

To offer an object to the collection, please call the museum on 01799 510333 or email museum@uttlesford.gov.uk and your enquiry will be directed to the relevant member of staff (see also Contact Us Page).
