The Ogilby Trust’s website is the best place to find out more about the regimental museums scattered across the UK. Many of these museums, already relying on donations, goodwill and the work of volunteers, are under enormous pressure in the face of the pandemic. All in-person research was off the menu at time of writing, and you may find that remote research services have been temporarily suspended. Nevertheless, it’s worth investigating the museums’ online offerings – some websites feature finding aids, tools for searching for soldiers, and online catalogues. Remember that archive collections may have been deposited with county record offices.
