Does anyone have a contact for the above please?
I visited in 2018 and there was no sign of any archive material and none of staff had ever heard of it.
I have tried emailing and writing to the municipal authorities and curator of the museum but with no luck.
The museum held some very important diaries from the siege which sadly appear to be lost.
Thanks
Graham

Graham,

I have been trying to contact them for a while, through a variety of means, without any success.

I hope the archive is still in existence, because as you say, it is unique.

Thank you.
Someone must know if it still exists somewhere.

Sadly, it is not only archive material that appears to have been "lost" in that neck of the woods. The whereabouts of larger items, such as the 60 mm Krupp gun captured from the Boers on 17 May 1900, is now unknown.
