N.B. The BOA Museum was one of the first museums in the United Kingdom to have a digital image of every single item in the collection (1999). Links to thumbnail images have now been added to this catalogue (Spring 2007). Many of the more recent of these can be selected to reveal a larger image.
Disclaimer: We make every effort to ensure that our records are accurate and as up-to-date as possible. Nevertheless we urge researchers to check with us before citing this data.
