The Corps Archives
Within the Museum are the Corps Archives, consisting of the Documentary Archives, Technical Archives and Pictorial Archives; these Archives hold a wealth of information on all aspects of the Corps history – for example: historical documents leading to the formation of the Corps in 1942; the birth of the Corps; REME in World War 2; post-War development and evolution; the higher management of the Corps and structural changes to meet the needs of the modern Army; insurgency type operations; recent ongoing operations; training; equipment and technical manuals; and photographs.
The Corps Archives acts as a custodian of our memories to inspire, inform and even enjoy. It is a resource that enables us to unlock a world of information and provides a unique picture of our past. Examples of items held in the Corps Archives are shown below:
