In order to facilitate study appointments safely, appointments are extremely restricted at this time. Please contact [email protected] to discuss your options for research enquiries.
Study facilities allow you to look in depth at particular objects and areas of Roman history.
Our collections include:
Study Collection
The Roman Baths collections include thousands of items that have been dug up during archaeological excavations and many of the pieces of pot, bone and stone are simply not suitable to put on display. We carefully record them and store them so that people can come to look at them when they have an enquiry. We also have a range of local history objects and photographs in our stores. Click here to download the Heritage Services Research Framework document.
Appointments to see this reserve collection should be booked at least one week in advance. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in booking an appointment.
Identifications at the Roman Baths
If you find something of archaeological or local historical interest we may be able to identify it for you. However, we do not give valuations. There is no charge for this service. Please contact us in advance to make an appointment. Occasionally we do ask people to leave their object whilst we make some further enquiries, such as consulting catalogues. On these occasions we issue an official receipt and agree a collection time with you.
If you think you have found something that is covered by the Treasure Act of 1996 you have a duty to report it to the Coroner. We can advise you and the Coroner on its identification and significance.
