Archives and museums

Somerset Heritage Centre cares for collections that are not permanently on display at Weston Museum. They are available to view on request. Local studies items that need specialist care are also stored at the centre.

The catalogue for the Heritage Centre also includes some non-book material in the collection at Weston.
