The Friends of the DLI Museum

The Society of Friends of the DLI Regimental Museum (Registered Charity No 273744) was formed in 1977.

The Friends is an independent, voluntary organisation devoted to the preservation and understanding of the history of County Durham's own regiment, The Durham Light Infantry.

The Society works closely with the DLI Museum and the Durham Record Office and acquires on their behalf objects linked to the Regiment and research material that might otherwise be lost. Funds are also used to develop and enhance the Regimental collections and improve access to them. The Society of Friends of the DLI Museum is run by an active group of members, known as the Elected Officers and Executive Committee.

New members are always welcome, so why not become a Friend today? As a Friend, you will not only have free entry to the DLI Museum but will also know that you are helping to preserve the DLI's collections for the future.. ...and if you want to get involved, then there is a lot to get involved in.

Over the last two years, the Friends group has produced a series of temporary exhibitions to mark major DLI anniversaries and also published its own magazine - The Durham Bugle - twice a year.
