We actively collect archival material relating to the East Midlands, including records from local businesses and industries. These historical records are a valuable research resource for the people who worked in the business and their families, the communities around it, and for academic research into economic and industrial history.

A small selection of the records are displayed at the Business Library on Jubilee Campus.
