Free collections access days
We allow free access on monthly dates throughout the year to museum collection items across our heritage sites, and 'restricted access' documents at Lincolnshire Archives, unless the document is not publically accessible.
You can book a one-hour appointment for up to two people.
During your visit, we will provide a member of staff to support you.
