The collection inside the Angus Folk Museum Store amounts to over 4,500 objects, most of which reveal the hard-working life of bygone days. However, it wasn’t all work …

Project Reveal will result in an updated database with high-quality images and unique object numbers for every item in the Trust’s material culture collections. Six regionally based project teams, supported by experienced project managers, will work across all of our properties with collections to complete the inventory in 18 months from July 2017 until December 2018.
