The Collectors Series
Are you a collector? Do you have a collection of something that means a lots to you? What is a Collector?........A Collector is: someone who collects certain things for a job or as a hobby. We are running a new small display in the front foyer named: “The Collectors Series” We’d like to hear from you if you have an interesting collection that would suit the Heritage Centres Historical themes. We would like in the future to display a small part of your collection with some information and a spotlight of your journey as the collector! If you would like to be involved, then please send an email outlining what you collect and a brief description of it with some of the History of the pieces and why you started collecting it. No more than a paragraph please. We will contact you and discuss with you if it will be a suitable collection for exhibition at the Heritage Centre and a timeframe for when it could be on exhibition. It may be next year. Email to tohs1988@bigpond.net.au and put in the subject Attention Vicki: The Collectors Series.
