The theme for 2025 is “International” and the team will be bringing some of the items donated by members from their trips abroad in Europe, Africa and South America.

We’ll talk through how to handle the items, how we track them in the collection including our online catalogue, the techniques used in the artefacts and provide information and links to sources. You’ll leave feeling confident to present our items to your own branch.
