The Ordnance Society has been assembling the FIRST EVER UK database of preserved Breech-Loading (B.L.) & Quick-Firing (Q.F.) artillery over the past fifteen months, making a comprehensive spreadsheet freely available for download from the website, with until recently, 330 guns listed:
https://ordnancesociety.org.uk/
The database includes artillery from National Collections (English Heritage, Imperial War Museum, National Army Museum, National Museum of the Royal Navy, and Royal Armouries); and smaller collections (Defence Academy, Eden Camp, Fort Amherst, Heugh Battery, Muckleburgh Collection, Newhaven Fort, New Tavern Fort, and Nothe Fort).
The data is wide ranging, and includes serial numbers, dates, manufacturers, location, owner, comments, links to pictures if available, and country of origin if foreign.
The Ordnance Society has now been able to almost DOUBLE THE SIZE OF ITS DATABASE with the addition of a large amount of valuable data from the Royal Artillery Collection, managed by the Royal Artillery Museum. There are now over 560 guns in the database. It provides, for the first time, details of many of the guns in the RA Collection, available online.
