Outreach Talks

Oxfordshire's Military Heritage in 50 Objects

The Oxfordshire Yeomanry D Squadron 'pub' sign.

The museum holds a fascinating collection of over 14,500 objects. Fifty objects across the archive have been selected to provide moments of insight into the county’s military history. These objects reflect on the personal stories of not only those who fought in both The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and Oxfordshire Yeomanry regiments, but also those living in Oxfordshire who have been impacted by conflict.

Combine a talk or archive tour with a visit to the museum, or we can come to you! Use the contact form below to enquire about booking a talk for your group, club or society.

Talks start at £65 (plus travel costs for outreach talks). There are 5 different variations of the talk focusing on 5 themed sets of the 50 Objects, following themes such as Leading the Charge: Oxfordshire Regiments Making History; Sending A Message - The Evolution of Military Communications; Solace and Salvation: How simple objects comforted those who served; Home Fires: Life on the Oxfordshire Home Front; Identity: Shared identity, belonging and fighting spirit.
