Introduction
National Museums Liverpool was established as a national museum in 1986 because of the outstanding quality of its collections. National Museums Liverpool's origins go back to 1851 and the founding of Liverpool Museum. Today there are eight National Museums Liverpool: Liverpool Museum, the Walker, Merseyside Maritime Museum, HM Customs & Excise National Museum, Museum of Liverpool Life, Sudley House, Lady Lever Art Gallery and the Conservation Centre.
National Museums Liverpool is one of 12 national museums in England and Wales and the only national museums group created in its own right within an English regional city. Its outstanding collections are made up of over 1.2 million objects covering art, history and science.
The National Museums Liverpool excavation archives deposited here provide signposts to the paper archives held elsewhere and databases associated with several different archaeological sites, which can be downloaded. At the moment this resource covers archaeological work which has been undertaken at six sites in Merseyside:
- Bickerstaffe Glasshouse
- Bromborough Court House
- Brookhill
- Fazakerley
- Hancock's Pottery
- Ince Blundell
- Old Hutt
- Pinfold Lane
- Speke Hall
It is hoped that this resource will grow over time to include archival information about many more sites in and around Merseyside.
