Greenham Peace Protest megaphone among 100 objects in West Berkshire Museum online collection

West Berkshire Museum has launched a new collections platform where online users can explore a fascinating selection of 100 objects, including an English Civil War cavalry helmet and a megaphone that was used at the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Protests.

The museum cares for more than 35,000 historic objects, including local social history, fine and decorative art, world culture and archaeology and they have ambitious plans to add more digital object records, exhibitions and articles over time. These online records allow searchable digital access to physical collections, many not currently on display.

Virtual visitors can also explore online exhibitions, read news articles on collections-related activities and find out more information specifically about the archaeological archives the museum collects and holds. www.westberkshiremuseumcollections.org
