Online catalogues
Gateway to the past - our online catalogue
Please note: Gateway will be unavailable on Wednesday 13 November while we carry out some essential maintenance.
Gateway to the Past contains over 80% of our archive catalogues and this percentage is steadily increasing. It also contains catalogue descriptions of all of the museum objects and art works managed by the County Museum.
Direct links to archive collections in the Gateway to the Past online catalogue are provided through the Staffordshire place guide, which lists Staffordshire places alphabetically.
The Minton archive
We have a dedicated website for the Minton archive, which incorporates a catalogue of the collection, together with stunning images of the designs for the company's products.
The Michelin archive
We also have a dedicated website for the Michelin archive, including the catalogue and images from the collection.
