Since 1989 the Museums and Art Gallery have collected objects using guidelines set out in the Acquisition and Disposal Policy. This City Council Document is continually revised with the next version to be produced by the end of 2001. It contains details of the policy to collect 'relating to the history and environment of that area governed by the District Council of Worcester, and to the lives of people who have lived and worked within that boundary'.

There are, however, wider geographical considerations for the Natural History and Geology collections and wider conceptual issues involved with the Art collection.

The Policy sets out the codes of good practice adopted by the Museum, its relationships with other museums. It also explores the active ways in which the Museum seeks to expand and rationalise collections, taking into account spatial and conservation requirements.

The Museum and Art Gallery staff are always pleased to know of and discuss the possibilities of acquiring material for the collections by donation, purchase, and occasionally on loan, within the terms of the Acquisition and Disposal Policy. Information on who to contact can be found in How to access the Collections.
