COVID-19 UPDATE:

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, AMOT staff are working from home. We are still able to respond to enquiries but there may be a delay. The museums within our network are closed to the public but the majority are offering online resources and some are still able to answer enquiries.

Welcome to

The Army Museums Ogilby Trust

Welcome to the Army Museums Ogilby Trust. We are committed to representing, supporting and promoting British Army museums.

Whether you want to visit an Army museum, research family history or find advice on how to care for military objects, we are here to help. Founded in 1954 by Colonel Robert Ogilby DSO, DL, we represent over 140 Army museums and collections linked to the Regiments and Corps of the British Army.

As a member of AMOT, museums are able to access funding, training and specialist events. We provide specialist advice on governance, collections, audience and research. We represent Army museums to the wider heritage sector as well as organisations such as the Ministry of Defence and Charity Commission.

We exist to help with the long-term support and care of the rich history represented within the many Army museums across the UK.
