Information and Services

The Wallace Collection has as a fundamental aim to "safeguard this unique and varied collection", making it accessible for the present and preserving it for the future. These duties are key to the daily work of the curatorial and conservation departments. The collection is keen to promote the potential that business can offer us with through our development office.

The Library and Archives of the collection are available by appointment and the hire of photographic transparencies of our works of art for reproduction purposes is also available. We have a volunteer programme, which is also where information can be found of any vacancies at present.

We hold a vision statement and publish an account of our activities in a triennial report , the latest of which was published in 1998. You can also read our funding agreement with the Governments Department of Culture, Media and Sport. A copy of our 2000-2001 accounts can be found here.
