Description: | There are extensive archives across many of the museum's collections, and associated with the object collections themselves. Notable amongst them are the Hardman Archive, largely of stained glass designs, and several other archives in the Applied Arts department (e.g. Osler, Payne, Morris, de Morgan), and the Dunlop Archive (Social History).
There is a huge archive from the former Museum of Science and Industry, including engineering drawings and documents relating to the exhibits (c.16000) and to technical subjects generally (c.10000). There is a collection of labels for pen nib boxes (10000 items), and there are specific named collections such as Cattell (railways), Bernard Cuzner, Fred Lanchester, Millership, Webster and Charles Thomas.
