Resources: Conservation
The major part of the collections is housed within the Shropshire Museums Resource Centre in Ludlow, co-located with the public library.
There is an ongoing need for conservation of the collections to ensure they are fit for purpose. There are specialist facilities available within the Resource Centre and this is an area where volunteers can be particularly helpful, bringing skills for recognising the need for such work or carrying it out under the supervision of professional curators.
