Launched in 2009 the Wiltshire Treasures website allows you to search the catalogues of eleven museums in Wiltshire, along with the art and photographic collections owned by Wiltshire Council.
Example of a search on Wiltshire Treasures for all items made of mahogany in Market Lavington Museum!
There are more than 160,000 records to search containing items ranging from prehistoric flint tools to a 1960’s dolls house. The site is easy to use and searches can either be carried out by keyword, topic, place, date or name.

We are pleased to be able to report that Wiltshire Council Museums Advisory Service has been successful in obtaining £15,000 from the South West Hub Museum Development Fund.
The money is for a project which we have entitled 'Photographing Wiltshire's Treasures'. This will be a partnership between New College Swindon, The Museums Advisory Service and a number of museums in the county. Photography students from the college will come to the partner museums on pre-arranged visits with equipment to take high quality photographs of objects from museum collections.
