Pembroke Museum awarded full accreditation!

We've done it! Pembroke Museum has been awarded full accreditation status by the Welsh Government and we now have the certificate to prove it! To qualify for the award,we had to meet national standards on our organisation, on the services we offer and how we manage our collections. A decade ago we started the museum from scratch, just a local history exhibition of display boards of photographs and stories. But we soon began to attract artefacts and the museum grew and grew. We have been blessed with generous donations from the community with which we have been able to develop some very interesting and important collections relevant to the history of our town. It is to the credit of our dedicated volunteers that we have now met nationally agreed standards for UK museums and that we are recognised at the same level as Wales’ larger and professionally staffed museums. It's meant a great deal of work but well worth it! In the photograph Museum volunteers (left to right) Ron Rees, Stuart Asman, Mary Busby, Linda Asman, George Palmer, Rose Blackburn, Roy Smith.
