Collections Online

We are really pleased to be part of two partnerships that have helped us start to put information about some of our more important collections online.  The first is with Whitby Museum, to put a complete list of the Type and Figured fossils held by the two museums onto the Whitby Museum website, these fossils have been used by scientists for hundreds of years to describe new species from our geological past.

The second project is part of the Public Catalogue Foundation initiative to put online the national collection of publicly owned oil paintings, the entire collection at Scarborough Art Gallery is now available as part of the BBC Your Paintings website.

In addition to these two projects we also publish an Object of the Week on this website, and in the Scarborough News.
