    Starting The Royal New Brunswick Regiment Museum Empty Starting The Royal New Brunswick Regiment Museum

    Post by invicta104th Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:15 am

    I am a member of the 1st Battalion, Royal New Brunswick Regiment. I am in the process of organizing, cataloging, and displaying the unit's historical artifacts, documents, and photographs. I am asking for donations of any items (artifacts, documents, and photographs) that might be available, even images of items would be greatly appreciated. I understand that this request mught seem a bit shady but I can ensure you that it is completely legitimate. If anyone has any questions or concerns about this request please feel free to contact me and I can pass them on to my unit chain of command.

    Our aim in starting the museum is to make our Regimental history more tangible and accessable to the soldiers in the unit, and to the public, by properly displaying our historical items in our various armouries. We are not yet an acredited DND museum but we will be partnering with the New Brunswick Military History Museum at CFB Gagetown where some RNBR related displys will also be housed.

    We are looking for the donation, or even the loan of, any artifacts (badges, medals, uniforms, equipment etc), maps, photographs, and documents relating to any and all of the following units:
