Collection Care

We currently look after several collections belonging to other heritage organisations at the Resource Centre, which has full environmental controls in the stores. 

Please contact the Museum Director on [email protected] if  you are interested in discussing how Discover Bucks Museum can help look after your collections in our stores.

Archaeological Deposits

We are the standard repository for all archaeological archives from across the county of Buckinghamshire (not including the Milton Keynes Council unitary authority area). 

The new cost for this is £105 +VAT per unit (bulk archive box, small finds box, paper archive box, plan roll).

The new rate will automatically increase by 5% (subject to annual review), from 1st April each year.

Discover Bucks will continue to issue accession numbers, and accept archives for all sites not within the MK authority area.
