The Worcestershire County Museum Society

The Society is a registered charity and the recognised support group for the Museum. It was founded in the 1960s and re-launched in 1995, from which time it has gone from strength to strength.

The Society aims to -

• encourage people to enjoy the Museum and its collections
• publicise and promote the Museum, and its activities and events
• broaden members' knowledge and understanding of history and archaeology
• liaise with other museum support organisations and local history societies on subjects of common interest 
• be another set of 'eyes and ears' for the Museum by gathering relevant information around the county

It achieves this by -

• organising an annual programme of talks on relevant subjects, which all may attend
• holding 1-2 field trips to sites of historic interest each year
• raising funds to assist the Museum in its work, and particularly with the purchase of new exhibits
• liaising with Museum staff to share information and to provide voluntary support

As a member you will -

• receive two free visits to the County Museum within each calendar year
• have discounted admission to Society talks/lectures
• receive regular mailings
• be able to work alongside Museum staff on projects
• be able to meet people with similar interests
• be eligible to serve on the Society's committee and assist with future planning

Annual subscriptions to the Society, due on January 1st each year, are £12.50 (individual) and £17.50 (family of up to two adults and three children).
