Regimental and Corps Museum networks

Meeting
Partnerships

Sharing advice and working in partnership

The National Army Museum provides support to regional networks of Regimental and Corps Museums who meet regularly throughout the UK.

Regional networks

Regimental and Corps Museum networks serve as forums for museum representatives to share advice relating to the sector and develop collaborative projects. Membership is open to all army museums and collections.

The National Army Museum provides support through an advisory service, bespoke training sessions and by assisting with network projects. For more information, please contact Julian Farrance (jfarrance@nam.ac.uk) or Christine Bernáth (cbernath@nam.ac.uk).
