Do you have interesting railway items gathering dust in your house? Would you like to help us build a world-class railway archive by allowing us to take a copy of your document? If so, we would very much like to hear from you. We are only interested in obtaining an electronic copy, so you get to help us and keep your document as well!

You can see which documents on our list have not been sourced on our list of unsourced documents. Maybe you;

  • have a key document on our list, or;
  • know where we can get a key document; or
  • know of a key document which is not on our list but should be.
Either way, please use our email form to tell us about the document. Please do not email unsolicited documents; we will not open attachments from strangers, for reasons which should be obvious!

If we are interested in a document you have, we can arrange for a copy to be made. Contributors providing documents for copying will receive a credit and link on the site by way of thanks for their assistance.
