 Sharing Your Collections
We are always showing you what we have in our collections. But what about showing us your collections?
While everyone is spending a lot more time at home, we thought it would be nice to share your stories. We would love to hear from you if you have any interesting objects at home that have some history attached to them.
If you would like to share with us, send an image of the object or document and a little bit about what this object is, who owned it, when it is from and any interesting anecdotes about it. The object can be old or new. You can even ask us to guess what it is, if you think it’s a bit of a mystery object or if it’s something that isn't used anymore.
Email Melanie at melanie.williamson@staffordshire.gov.uk We will be sharing these every week on #SharingSaturday on Facebook and Instagram and we hope to create an online exhibition of all our entries called Collections at Home.
