Collections

From Prehistory to Present Day...

Heritage Eastbourne cares for a number of incredible objects. Preserving and recording the stories of Eastbourne dating back millions of years, some of these stories can be found at The Beachy Head Story.

Whether your interest is local history, archaeology, military history or historic photographs, use our research service to reveal the stories from the collections. Contact us to find out more or book an appointment.

To buy a print from our photographic archive or to donate an object, please contact us for more information.

We're working on making our collections accessible online in a few ways. You can search our local history and photography collections here . We are adding images as we digitise the objects and photographs in our care so keep checking back or contact us for more information about a specific object 
 

We're also working on scanning and building 3D models of some of our archaeology collection. You can view some of them through our Story of a Town around the Downs trail here and we'll be featuring some of them in our Collections highlights blog coming soon!
