Acquiring new artefacts for the collection is governed by the museum's Collections Development Policy.  We only collect items that provide a record of life and work in the parishes of Purton, the Lydiards and Braydon.  We do not accept duplicates of items we already hold or those in a poor condition.

If you are considering donating an artefact, please email or telephone the archivist, Lucy Lewis, peterluce@hotmail.com or 07918 802252.  Please include a photograph and as many details as possible such as condition, date and provenance.  Thank you.
