The British Red Cross Museum and Archives are based at the Society's UK Office in London. The collection contains a fascinating portrait of the humanitarian work of the British Red Cross, from its beginnings in 1870 to its vital contribution in today's society.
Collections description
Includes material from the Society's national headquarters, regions, branches and centres and items from people who served with, or received assistance from, the British Red Cross since its foundation in 1870. Highlights include the Changi Quilt and Loyd-Lindsay's flag. Items not on display, including a large textile and photographic collection, can be viewed by prior appointment.
