Collection history (Collection development policy)
Send and Ripley History Society was founded in 1975 but only acquired a museum in 1991. The collection has built up over the last 40 years mainly from donations from members, local residents and former residents of Send and Ripley. Occasionally items have been purchased after reference to the committee.
