building the Museum of Camping collection

The Museum of Camping is currently building and testing this online collection system. This section is under construction with a small test set of objects. Our eventual objective is to create a collection that is complete and accurate, though hardly comprehensive, and that represents a range of perspectives, experiences, and styles of camping. Expect a lot of changes here in both content and functionality as we move along.

If you are interested in contributing expertise or objects, please use our online contact form to send us a note to discuss. We will get back to you. We'd love to have you involved in this important project. Though we are interested in all types of historical camping materials, we are compiling a short list of specific items we are in search of.
