Should you wish to pursue independent research, the Museum’s website contains comprehensive information on its holdings, and on how the Museum may best support your enquiry.

Please note that access to the collection is limited, and it is essential that researchers provide the Museum with detailed information on their focussed area of interest, in order that the relevant resources may be identified and where possible be made available. To enquire about research please contact the Museum by emailing: museum@sja.org.uk
