Collections

The REME Museum cares for just over 130,000 items. The collections are a fascinating and eclectic mix that focuses on the REME story, but also tells us much about the British Army in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Our collection includes specialist recovery vehicles, medals awarded to REME soldiers, an extensive weapons collection, uniforms, models, trade test pieces and radios. We also care for a large archive that includes letters, pamphlets, photographs, paintings, instruction manuals and vehicle specifications.

The collection is cared for by a team of professionals and volunteers who work to preserve Corps heritage for future generations.

Follow the links below to learn more about the object and archive collections and find out how your REME relics can become part of our permanent collection.
