Mobilia’s road transport history collections consist of the collection owned by the Mobilia Foundation and the collections of objects, archives, images, and books managed by Mobilia under service contracts.<\/p>

Collections are recorded systematically and within the framework of Mobilia\u2019s collection policy.<\/p>

Most of the collections are catalogued in the digital collection management system eMobilia. The catalogued and digitised collections can be accessed via the eKokoelmat <\/a>browser. The collection browser opens in a new window with a link to the browser instructions.<\/p>

Some of the collections are on display in the Mobilia exhibitions. Guided tours of the collections, which are normally closed to the public, are available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Donations to collections<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Mobilia Foundation’s collections are built up through donations. The recording is guided by the collection management\u2019s collections policy. The collections contain key materials relating to the history of Finnish road transport. The vehicle collection contains ten of the most common makes of cars in Finland from each decade, starting from the 1920s. The inclusion of vehicles from before 1920 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>
