The Central Tablelands Collections Facility (CTCF) is a large 2400 square metre repository providing industry standard storage with climate control, specialised racking equipment and security for regional collections.
The facility accommodates valuable and fragile collections, archives and other significant objects currently held in public museums and galleries under the custodial care of Bathurst Regional Council. It also caters for collections from smaller regional volunteer run museums, historical societies, collection groups, education facilities, private collectors and storage for larger State Institutions.
The facility also provides flexible learning spaces for hire that will continue to grow established industry partnerships with University of Melbourne’s Grimwade Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation, M&GNSW, regional outreach programs and the working partnership with The Australian Museum via the Somerville Collection.
