Research and archive
From 18 March and until further notice the Search Engine library and archives will be closed to the public. We will continue to monitor and respond to emails sent to search.engine@railwaymuseum.org.uk but we regret that we cannot respond to phone calls or letters. Our copying service will continue to operate with a reduced capacity.
Whatever you're interested in, from engineering and industry to the social history of railways, our research and archive facilities are here to help.
If you're looking for more information about a particular area of railway history and engineering, Search Engine is the place for you.
