Following a three and a half year project, funded by the Esme Fairbairn Foundation, to document every item in our collection, the museum achieved Full Accreditation status. Accreditation is a set of national standards for UK museums for which published requirements must be met in how they care for and document their collections, how they are governed and managed, and on the information and services they offer to their users.
The scheme is administered in Scotland by Museums Galleries Scotland. This prestigious UK National Honour recognises outstanding voluntary contributions and sets the national benchmark for excellence in volunteering, with the work of those awarded being judged to be of the highest standard.

Schools & Groups
Report
The museum welcomes visits from both Primary and Secondary school pupils to its premises and is also happy to arrange for a speaker(s) to visit the school and talk to students in-house. Numbers are limited for visits to the museum in normal opening hours due to space restrictions and the presence of other visitors.
Volunteers
Report
The museum welcomes new volunteers to help man the museum and keep it running from March to November. Our long serving and loyal team of volunteer Watchkeepers man the desk in the museum and look after the 'front of house' part of the museum. No experience is necessary to become a Watchkeeper. A warm smile, an interest in Oban, reliability and a friendly attitude are the most important requirements.
