Verulamium and the Museum of St Albans both hold collections of objects that are related to the lives of the past and present people of St Albans City and district.

Verulamium holds the collections of Archaeology and Field Archaeology, which are mainly from the Roman and Medieval town.

The Museum of St Albans houses a broad Social History Collection, a collection of Natural Science specimens and the Salaman Collection of tools. The museum also collects Oral History, recording the memories of people with a connection to the local area.

There is also a large Image Library containing images of both museum objects and photographs of people, places and events in the local area from the earliest photography to the current day.

With the exception of the natural science collection, which is now closed, all these collections are being added to.
