The Story

Our archaeology collections reflect the heritage of Hertford and 30 other towns and villages in East Hertfordshire. They encompass sites from the Palaeolithic to Post Medieval period and include the important Late Iron Age – Roman settlement at Braughing and Puckeridge as well as the Late Saxon development of the county town of Hertford. Our collection includes over 5000 small finds, over 3000 boxes of archaeology and 400+ excavation archives, stored on over a kilometre of shelving. These collections are used routinely by researchers and universities to discover new information about how people lived here in the past as well as featuring in many of our exhibitions and workshops for schools. Unfortunately we are running out of space and desperately need to install roller racking, wheeled shelving units which compress together without aisles, to maximise our capacity. The total project cost is £18,100.80. Please help us continue to preserve and share our local heritage by donating to this project.
