Support
Donations
A large share of our collections were made possible by the generosity of people who have kindly donated objects and manuscript archives to us. If you have items that you think we might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you. Curatorial staff will respond to potential donors and arrange appointments to visit. We’re not always able to take every item offered to us, particularly where we already have similar objects in the collections, but we welcome the opportunity to consider every donation.
Accepted donations
Corps Histories
We welcome any donations connected to the four corps of the Army Medical Services
Manuscript archives
We welcome any donations of personal papers connected with service in the four corps of the Army Medical Services
Gift in your will
Legacies of all sizes help to preserve our history, and the stories of our healthcare heroes. If you would like to leave a bequest, feel free to reach out to us on 01252 523176
