The Guardian News & Media Archive catalogue allows you to find descriptions of archival records and items that are available for research. The level of detail of catalogue entries will vary—sometimes a series of thousands of photographs or documents may have just one entry, sometimes individual photographs or documents will be described. The hierarchy display shows the structure of the wider collection, similar to a family tree, so you can see where the item fits in.
Not everything held by the archive is catalogued—this is an ongoing process and our collections are growing all the time. If you can’t find the material you are searching for, we may still be able to help so please contact us.
The catalogue is not designed to provide online access to digital images of physical documents within our collections. You may be able to find a small number of images of documents along with their catalogue records, but most will simply have a description to enable you to decide if you wish to come in and consult the material or enquire further about it.
If you would like to make an appointment to see any material from the archive, or would like to share corrections or comments about the catalogue, please email us, quoting the catalogue reference code(s). Access to records is provided in our reading room, in King’s Cross London, by appointment only.
