Collectors Societies
The website of the Antique Metalware Society.
A society of scholars and collectors of base metalwares. A journal is published annually and regular meetings are held, usually in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.
The website of the Silver Society.
Based in London, this is a society of scholars and collectors of silver wares which publishes a journal, ‘Silver Studies’, annually and holds regular meetings with fascinating lectures.
Amongst many other websites for collectors, I would recommend:

Victoria and Albert Museum
The website of the Victoria and Albert Museum, in South Kensington, London has an excellent section with advice on the care and cleaning of antique metalwares.
