Supporting museums. Connecting people. Sharing Army heritage.
A shared voice.
Practical support.
Army museums often began as regimental collections of objects, records and mementoes, cared for by an individual within the regiment. Over time, these collections developed into museums, preserving the stories of soldiers, their families and the communities connected to them.
Colonel Robert Ogilby founded Army Museums Ogilby Trust (AMOT) in 1954 to help regiments preserve this heritage and support their efforts to care for and share their histories.
Today, AMOT brings Army museums, collections and heritage attractions together to represent their shared interests and secure practical support, resources and opportunities that help them serve the public. As an independent charity working with the British Army and heritage partners, we provide advice, award grants and connect museums with expertise, helping them care for collections and bring their stories to wider audiences.
