Race programs and event guides are one of the best resources for any researcher working on motor racing history, and of course really cool to just sit and read!
The archive currently has over 1,750 event programs and guides from the 1930s until the present day. Here is a very small (A-Z) selection of this invaluable group of items held in the archive. The majority are from race meetings and shows in the UK, Europe and the USA, but it would be great to get some from the Far East and Australasia. Do you have any you could donate?
At the moment, only the covers of event programs can be seen in the online catalogue, but we hope over time to add the internal pages to the website. Internal page content is available on request through our ‘Researcher & Historian’ services.
