WRM Sale preamble

The World Rugby Museum opened as the Museum of Rugby in March 1996. Since then, it has developed its collection via many kind donations from ex-rugby players, rugby administrators and members of the public. Often these donations include multiple objects or books, some of which we may already have.

As part of our collecting policy, we have taken the decision not to collect more than two copies of any particular item. In addition to these duplicate materials, there are a number of objects that no longer meet our collecting criteria. These range from signed jerseys to historic trophies. We believe it is in the interests of the wider sporting heritage community to make these surplus items available to other institutions and collectors who might derive benefit from them.

Any proceeds received from the sale of these items will be used either to a) develop our collection in accordance with our collecting criteria b) share more of our collection with our visitors via our special exhibition programme.

We remain extremely grateful to all who have donated material to the World Rugby Museum collection since 1996 and encourage others to continue to come forward with material that they think may have a natural home with our museum.

Please do not hesitate to call me on (+61 2) 9420 0558 or mobile +61 (0) 419421283 or email, should you have any further questions whatsoever about these lots, and good luck...michael@sportsmem.com.au
