On 15 July 1999, the SNS Fund Eemsmond Foundation was established with, among other things, the aim of promoting the history and culture of Appingedam. The board also decided to build a collection of antique silver objects from Appingedam and the surrounding area. Through intermediaries, more than 400 objects from various private properties were acquired in recent years; however, only Appingedam silver proved to be unfeasible. Urban Groningen and provincial objects were. You will find a collection in the Groninger Zilverkamer with many recognisable, but also with some virtually unknown objects, compiled from a traditional viewpoint and from the adage "It must be Groningen". After purchasing its own Fund Eemsmond building, it was decided to set up a permanent Groninger Silver Room here with a special collection of Groninger silver from the 17th to the early 20th century.
