Adopt an iconic artefact today and support vital conservation work
From an original Victorian ship’s biscuit to a UNESCO designated engineering report; the objects in the SS Great Britain Trust collection require complex and specialised conservation to preserve them for future generations.
We need your help to support this vital conservation!
Whether for yourself, or as a gift, by choosing adoption you are playing a crucial role in protecting the heritage items in our collection and supporting our other vital charitable work. When you choose to adopt an artefact, you are supporting both the conservation of your chosen artefact and wider work bringing heritage to life for everyone.
Why Adopt an Artefact?
By adopting an artefact, you will:
– Support the conservation of 67,000+ items in the nationally designated collection
– Show public support for our collection with your name displayed on our website
– Support one of the few academic archives in the world to offer “access on demand”, free of charge
– Fund our other essential charitable work including, education, community outreach and research
