Research Support at Explosion!
Explosion! the Museum of Naval Firepower can provide a comprehensive range of research support, assisting in enquires by supplying information, images, reproductive images and text along with a whole host of other Services.
We accept enquiries from members of the public as well as private and public organisations. Enquiries can be made via Post, Telephone, Fax or Email.
Unfortunately due to lack of staff time at present the enquiry service is not available. It is hoped that it may be available again in June 2007.
The Museum of Naval Firepower always tries to respond to all enquires as soon as is possible although response times can vary depending on staff availability at the time of the enquiry. We try to answer every enquiry in the best way that we can and always work in strict chronological order.
When making an enquiry try to give as much information as possible about the subject and also try and include more than one point of contact for yourself (i.e. phone number and postal address) as well as what organisation you represent, if any.
Please Note: We do NOT hold any naval service personnel records in our collection.
