THE FRIENDS OF THE SIERRA LEONE NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM

We help to build the collection, and conserve and display items in the Sierra Leone National Railway Collection. We promote and organise meetings, lectures and events to foster interest in the SLNRM. We edit and publish of data, information, reproductions, books, periodicals, papers and pamphlets relating to the museum. We encourage the study of railway transport in Sierra Leone and its history.
