Are you a company and wish to support what we're doing?

The Communication Museum Trust is here to support any collection of communication history now and in the future. Our Individual Members have the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm needed to make this happen but the collections need to be there for them to do this, and of course these Collections need both encouragement and financial support.
