Billy Bishop Museum is proud to announce that it is going public with its collections! Our staff has been working tirelessly through the four lockdowns cataloguing the collection, getting our objects online and fully accessible to you. It is an ambitious project, years in the making, but we want to share the process, along with our collection with you today even if it is not perfect.

No matter what lockdowns or restrictions that may come our way, you will always have access to the Museum’s unique collection.

Get exploring today and check the database as often as you like to see our progress with this important project. Our public access site represents a living collection that will grow and evolve daily. You can explore Billy Bishop Museum’s collection of objects and archives right now by clicking this link: https://billybishopmuseum.catalogaccess.com/

If you see an artefact that you want more information on, or if you have information to share with us about an object, please reach out to [email protected] as this is a collaborative community project and we want to hear from you!

We are also excited to open our doors to the public once again on Tuesday February 1st and will safely welcome guests back to our Historic Home and Museum.

Our hours will be Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 4pm.
