Thanks to those who sent in their accessions returns for 2022, we're now working through the data. In the meantime, why not take a look at some of the material collected in 2021, sorted by theme or repository, on our accessions webpages: nationalarchives.gov.uk/accessions/202…

That’s the thing about corporate archives; they’re not “dusty corners” as media sometimes portrays. Most large orgs have them as they’re useful and get used! NR’s is a massive secure warehoused facility. With Britain’s network so old, it helps to know what all past engineers did.

I cannot WAIT to show you the Britannia Bridge @networkrail Archive feature on #TheArchitectureTheRailwaysBuilt in a few weeks. Like the amazing @ICELibrary it’s full of original drawings: its brilliant archivists supply today’s rail engineers with critical historic information.
ICE Library@ICELibrary

Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge opened #onthisday 1850. William Fairbairn and Eaton Hodgkinson carried out experiments to design the wrought iron tubes but Fairbairn resigned before the painting of the engineers was commissioned.

A lot of the advice in this new toolkit is relevant to the wider archives sector, so do take a look if you want to find out more about advocacy. Effective advocacy can bring about huge benefits, so has to be a GOOD thing.

@TurnipRail This will be a huge loss to the transport history sector. A shining example of collaboration between academia and the heritage sector. So sorry to hear it David.

Dear all. It is with great sadness that I have to report that the University of York is withdrawing the Master's Degree in Railway Studies. After 8 years, I am heartbroken. Many thanks to the many wonderful students who put their trust in the programme. You've been great.
