RSN Collection and archive

The RSN Collection comprises some 60,000 specialist objects, papers, books and a wide range of embroidery, including pieces worked by RSN graduates and international pieces.  In addition we hold designs, prickings and archival and photographic materials and business records from the history of the RSN.

Access to the RSN Collection is currently limited and we are actively seeking sponsorship to enable us to catalogue these embroideries, textiles and designs and in the future make them accessible online.  However, it is possible to have an insight into the Collection by attending an RSN tour or a Saturday Study Tour.
