It’s a new chapter for the BNTVA Museum CIC, and we’re thrilled to welcome you to our brand-new blog!
Here, we embark on a vital journey: preserving the heritage of the British Nuclear Test Veterans and their community. For too long, these brave individuals’ stories, sacrifices, and experiences have remained largely untold. Our mission at the BNTVA Museum CIC is to ensure that this crucial part of British history is never forgotten.
This blog will be your window into the heart of our efforts. While we’ll occasionally feature updates and news from the wider museum team, most of our posts will come directly from our museum curator’s knowledgeable and dedicated hand, Wesley Perriman.
Wesley brings a wealth of expertise and a deep passion for this subject, and he’s eager to share insights into our collection, highlight individual stories, discuss ongoing research, and illuminate the profound impact of the nuclear tests on those who served and their families.
Through this platform, we aim to:
- Share untold stories: Delve into the personal narratives of the nuclear test veterans, giving voice to their experiences.
- Showcase our collection: Offer glimpses into the fascinating artefacts, documents, and memorabilia that form the core of our museum.
- Highlight research and history: Explore the historical context of the tests and the ongoing efforts to understand their long-term effects.
- Connect with the community: Provide a space for remembrance, education, and ongoing support for the veteran community and their descendants.
We invite you to join us on this critical journey. Follow us as we build a lasting legacy, ensuring that the heritage of the British Nuclear Test Veterans is preserved for generations to come.
Stay tuned for our first post from Wesley Perriman, coming very soon!
