Damian Etheraads, Head of Culture, Museums, Libraries and Archives at Herefordshire Council, says:
Whether it's a curious coin, an old tool, a natural specimen or a unique collectable, our team of researchers will share their knowledge and give guidance on how to uncover the hidden stories behind your item. So, if you’ve always wondered about an historical object you have in your home, do bring it along and find out about it from our experts.
