Memory Box Policy

Educational memory boxes (available for schools & groups) contain a selection of real and replica objects and often some printed materials related to their topic. The objects are intended to be suitable for supervised handling within sschools and groups as a stimulus to discussion and classwork.

There will be a £10 charge per box payable for the Hire of the boxes. This charge to be paid in cash on collection of the box(es)

A copy of the hire agreement form can be downloaded here. This form must be filled in before a memory box can be delivered to a school and signed again when the box is returned to the museum in good condition with all its parts.

At present this service only covers schools and groups in Whittlesey or the immediately adjacent communities. This is because delivery and collection of memory boxes is often carried out by museum volunteers.

Pre Booking of ALL boxes is ESSENTIAL.

Other Uses

Should there be memory boxes at the museum which are not being required for school use, it may be possible to book them out for other community or youth groups.

Please contact us by sending an email to whittleseymuseum@gmail.com if you wish to book a memory box.
