'Virtual' Regimental Museum/s - [Royal Norfolk]
Probably a daft idea, but been thinking for a while now about uploading some of my photos of the long-gone Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum, in Norwich.
From previous threads I am aware other members also have photos of the museum/exhibits, and wondered how worthwhile a venture it might be to pool our pictures and perhaps put together a joint forum album or shared interest social group, that will (albeit partially) put some of the display back on show, so to speak. My photos from back then are not of particularly good quality (see below ), but they do at least offer a tiny glimpse of what the museum and exhibits were like. With others' contributions, it might create a reasonable picture of the old place. Would those members who have images of/from that museum be wiling to contribute? I am sure there must be other long-gone museums, drill halls, etc., that we have photos of; Davies Street, London Scottish HQ, to name but two I could share photos of. Just a thought. Regards to all, JT RNRM.jpg |

Sounds like a great idea JT.
Speaking for myself I’d love to see them. |

That picture looks fine, though I have none, like Luke I would love to see any also, great idea J.T.

JT,
I have some photos taken just before the museum closed in 2011. Variable quality and taken through glass but happy to contribute. Two examples here that I posted recently: Tim

Hi JT. I agree, it’s a great idea and I’d love to see any photos. I visited the museum often enough but unfortunately I don’t have any photos I could contribute. If others were willing to share and could find the time to post then I would be v appreciative.
Thanks |

I love the idea, and would love to see the pics. I think it could expand into a really interesting thread as people contribute where they can.
Cheers, Tim |

Maybe a sub-forum with a thread dedicated to singular named museums?
Although, we would have to be very conscious of possible copyright issues. T |

Thanks for all the responses and encouragement. Appreciate everyone taking the time to respond. Great stuff.

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas welcomed… a sub-forum is a good idea (as suggested above by T). Would that enable album-like viewing of contributors’ images? As an aside: I visited the KSY Museum, at Hever Castle, over the bank holiday weekend, thanks to Simon ‘Hawthorn’s’ recommendation. It’s a small but excellent display. I mention this as I’m wondering whether or not (as touched upon above) current/existing museums might also be included in any development a ‘virtual museum/s’ forum social group might explore? 83339C6B-98EE-4772-BD0F-F93DC09D290A.jpg Again, thoughts, ideas, suggestions welcomed. Regards to all, JT P.S. Are there any negatives about the social group format that anyone knows of? Last edited by Jelly Terror; 04-05-23 at 05:43 PM. |

Many's the time I have neglected to take pics of displays and lived to regret it. Mountains of stuff from the HAC Museum, I wish I had snapped. Quote:

Tim, I assume the pics come with your tacit permission to reproduce within the proposed project? Quote:

JT,
I have a few more pictures and all can be added to a ‘virtual museum’ project. The social group format is probably best as once set up it is quite straightforward for any member to add images from their own albums. Tim
