The most recent requisition is the Appiehouse Stone, found under a floor in a house in Lady Village. This is a Pictish/Christian Stone. The Horne Room is our Reference area which holds a lot of records for Family History and former displays. Here we hold the Sanday Photographic material and Oral History archives.
