Ways you can support our museum
The Museum is a charity and relies heavily on donations from its supporters. With your help, we will be able to continue telling the stories of our Regiments and the thousands of men from Devon and Dorset that served in them. Your support is particularly important now while we are temporarily closed.

Legacies
We are extremely grateful for all legacy donations, and your kind gift will help build a lasting legacy for future generations. Your legacy contribution will go toward capital items or new acquisitions for the collection, rather than for ongoing costs.
Object Donations
We would be delighted to hear from you if you’re considering donating an object to us. These donations make up a large percentage of our collection and are imperative to telling our story. The museum are always interested in objects that fall within our Collections Development Policy -
“Any item of militaria including books and documents which:
- Is directly or indirectly connected with any constituent Regiment or Unit of the museum.
- Relates to allied or enemy forces and is relevant to portraying the history, traditions and deeds of any of the constituent Regiments or Units of the museum.
- Is of a general nature and which while not directly connected with a Constituent Regiment or Unit or associated forces, was used or could have been used against any of the constituent Regiments or Units of the museum.
In particular medals, documents, uniforms, photographs, firearms and/or edged weapons plus general items form the bulk of the acquisitions. There are no themes or priorities for future collecting. Each item identified or offered will be assessed on merit and cost.”
Please contact us via email (info@keepmilitarymuseum.org) if you’d like to donate an object to us, including any information you have on the object/s and photographs if possible.
