Foremost among these were that:
- The artefacts must be fully catalogued
- Every effort would be made to ensure that the artefacts would be as accessible to the public as possible
- Since the storage conditions are not ideal we would try to provide a home for the articles which would give them better conditions and allow them to be seen by the public
So far we have been unable to provide a home for them. The situation has not been made easier because, since we started, we have acquired many more items. We now have nearly 300.
These items are currently used to augment our teaching. In addition, selected items are used in displays such as schools, brownies, temporary displays in museums and, of course, Oswestry Town Museum. We receive new exhibits on a regular basis and it became apparent that, if we could find a proper home, we could use these artefacts as the foundation of a publicly accessible collection.
