The Museum welcomes two wonderful new volunteers, Zahra and Majid Deghani. They originate from Iran, where they both worked in museums and heritage fields. They are working through our social history boxes, checking, repacking and photographing. We are very grateful to their expertise and support. The work is part of a bigger picture for the museum as we apply for Museum Accreditation with the Arts Council and intend to have more material available online. https://www.surreyheathmuseum.com/
