      • The archive is a collection of paper-based material relating to the Great Central Railway and its successors.

      • The archive is stored at The Immingham Museum in North East Lincolnshire.

      • The role of archivist is shared between Gordon Luck (01469 574637 / gluck70972@aol.com) and Malcolm Hayles (01472 823369 / malcolmhayles@virginmedia.com).

      • The museum opening times are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1pm to 4pm.

      • The archive itself can only be accessed when a member of the GCRS with a key is in attendance at the museum. Gordon Luck is available on Wednesdays to open the archive. Please contact him beforehand.

      • An A3 scanner and an internet-connected computer is available to scan material and save it to storage media or send it to your own e-mail address.

      • Material is in the process of being scanned and placed on the members-only page (see above) of the website.

      Some examples of material already scanned can be viewed here.
