What is an archive?

The Nick Baldwin Collection was the private collection of Nick Baldwin, a vehicle enthusiast and motoring journalist. An archive is a collection of documents collected by a public organisation, a private institution or an individual person.

The Nick Baldwin Collection has over 100,000 photographic images and paper documents relating to all aspects of road transport from its role in social history to the vehicles themselves. You can find out more about the history behind the archive and the people who contributed to it in the 'About the collection' section of this Website.
The contents of the archive are listed in The catalogue that appears on this Website. All the items have been stored in boxes and packets to ensure that they do not deteriorate.
