The Surrey Infantry Museum
The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment archives were put in storage when Regimental Headquarters and Museum in the Keep at Kingston upon Thames closed. Colonel JW Sewell reached agreement with the National Trust to re-establish the regiment's museum at Clandon Park, West Clandon (51°15′02″N 0°30′30″W / 51.2506°N 0.5082°W / 51.2506; -0.5082 (Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment Museum)). The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment Museum opened in 1981 with exhibits including uniforms, medals, weapons, regalia, photographs and memorabilia. The museum was upgraded in 2001. In 2011, with part funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund further redevelopment took place and, in July that year, the museum merged with those of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment and the Queen’s Regiment to become The Surrey Infantry Museum.
The regiment's archives and library are located at the Surrey History Centre in Woking.

And eke the heavy plight
Of me, that wonted to rejoice
The fortunes of my pleasant choice.
Good ladies, help to fill my mourning voice.”
