Loan Boxes
Our Loan Boxes are available to support creative learning in Carmarthenshire's classrooms and community settings. They contain a mix of real objects, replicas and printed materials.
The main history resources cover Celts, Romans, Age of the Princes, Victorians and the Home Front. We also have some items to support the Tudors, Civil War and World War One.
The charges for these and for all our services can be found at the bottom of this page.
