More Information
Our collection is an important part of Cardiff’s heritage and helps us to tell the city’s story, from the earliest times, through the industrial coal boom, to the present day.
Most of the objects, ephemera and photographs we collect have personal stories attached to them, so it is the people who have shaped the city that tell its story.
We are always collecting! We continue to add to our collection to make sure we represent the diversity of Cardiff and its communities, past and present.
We collect items from the past, and from today – contemporary collecting is important to us. Collecting objects and stories from the present means that future generations will know what Cardiff was like today.
