 The Museum offers most of the services that you might expect from a leading museum. Please remember that the Museum has a small staff and it can be busy so it is best to give as much notice as you can of the service you wish to use. If you require a service not listed here it is worth contacting the Museum, as we may still be able to help you.
Enquiries Service
The Museum receives hundreds of enquiries a year. It endeavours to answer them whether by letter, email or telephone regardless of the subject. Where the enquiry is beyond the remit of the Museum it will do its best to direct you to the appropriate sources. Enquiries which involve more than an hour of curatorial staff time may be charged for to people undertaking funded research.
Identification Service
The Museum will attempt to identify objects brought in to it for that purpose. If you wish to bring an item in please telephone beforehand to make sure it is something we can help with. There is no charge for this service though donations are always welcome.
Education and Outreach
Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum is dedicated to inspiring learning and increasing access to our rich collections and exhibitions. We aim to provide opportunities for learning to as wide an audience as possible both within the museum and off site. See our Education and Outreach programme and services.
Handling Collections
A range of handling collections and loan boxes are available for educational purposes and use by visually disabled people.
Finds Liaison Officer
To implement the Portable Antiquities Scheme the Museum shares a Finds Liaison Officer with museums in Devizes and Swindon. She is available to record archaeological objects discovered locally and to liaise with metal detecting groups and the public generally. Email the Finds Liaison Officer.
Photographic Service
