The Friends of Ludlow
Museum 
Projects
The
Friends are engaged in a range of projects associated with the
collections in the Ludlow Town Museum and Shropshire Museums
Resource Centre. These may be considered in the following
categories:
- Acquisitions: We have commissioned purchase of prints and conservation of paintings as well as of specimens in the various collections.
- Buildings: We supported design and construction of the purpose-built, environmentally controlled, Resource Centre in Ludlow for the Shropshire Museums service of Shropshire Council, raising a substantial sum from private and company donations.
- Cataloguing: We provide financial support to educational projects for school children both at the Museum and in their school
- Conservation: Recognising damage and undertaking remedial measures to preserve the collections for the future.
- Digitisation: We
support research by individuals, by academic institutions,
and ensuring their endeavours are properly recorded and made
available to enhance our understanding of Shropshire and its
heritage. This includes a substantial grant awarded in 2015
for the digitisation of the geological collections.

- Fund Raising: We

raise funding for their work.
