The basis of the museum collection is social history material found in, produced in, or closely associated with, Farnham and its surrounding villages. These collections are divided broadly into the areas of Archaeology, Archives, Fine Art, Textiles and Social History.

Our collections are at the core of the Museum’s programme of activities, exhibitions, school sessions and loan box service within and outside the Museum building. The museum also uses its collections to provide opportunities for lifelong learning for locals, visitors and researchers from all over the world.

We are currently unable to accept new donations. This will be reviewed in May 2023.
