| The Royal Corps of Signals Museum is located in Blandford Camp in the beautiful Dorset countryside and only a stone's throw from the scenic and interesting Georgian Town of Blandford Forum.
It is the national museum of Army communications and the exhibits and displays show the part that communications have played in the many wars and campaigns of the last 150 years. The Museum collection is regarded as being of National importance and the excellent Archives are recognised by the Public Record Office
The Museum was founded in Catterick, in North Yorkshire in the mid 1930s. It was moved to Blandford Camp in 1967. In 1989 an appeal was launched to raise over £1 million to construct a new wing and to totally refurbish the displays. Following a successful appeal, the new wing was constructed in 1995 and the refurbishment was completed in 1997. The Museum in its new form was re-opened on 28th May 1997. There are many interactive displays and fun trails for younger visitors.
The main purposes of the Museum are:
- To preserve and display the heritage of the Royal Signals.
- To tell the story of military communications from the Napoleonic Wars onwards.
- To provide research, educational and recruiting support facilities.
