Land Transport Archives Network

A network for archivists, curators, custodians and researchers, interested in the care and use of archives relating to any aspect of any form of land transport.

Any ideas, kind folks?

[Scottish Roads Archive @ScotRoadArchive]

We need help from our friends in the #archives sector!

We're looking to pass on some maritime records, specifically Lloyds Shipping Registers (1930s-2000s) and Kempe's Engineers Yearbooks (1890s-2000s).

Anyone know of archives that specialise in this sort of thing?

DMs open 😀

A fascinating afternoon with Anthony and Paul from the Lanchester Interactive Archive @lanchester_ia . Privileged to have a ride in their beautiful 1932 Lanchester 15/18

@MrTimDunn @networkrail @YesterdayTweets Great to see inside the fantastic @NetworkRail archives: guardians of the railways’ heritage.

[The National Archives Sector @UKNatArcSector]

Thanks to those who sent in their accessions returns for 2022, we're now working through the data. In the meantime, why not take a look at some of the material collected in 2021, sorted by theme or repository, on our accessions webpages: https://t.co/JbQnqt6EE6

@MrTimDunn @YesterdayTweets @networkrail @nymr @RailwayMuseum @UKTV It was great to see the Euston illustrations. Can’t wait to see what is featured on this week’s episode.

@MrTimDunn Couldn’t agree more … but we are biased.

[Dublin Port @DublinPortCo]

Thousands of iconic historic engineering documents are being unveiled online for the first time as part of Dublin Port’s digitalisation of its vast archive!

A lot of the advice in this new toolkit is relevant to the wider archives sector, so do take a look if you want to find out more about advocacy. Effective advocacy can bring about huge benefits, so has to be a GOOD thing.

@IrishRailArch How about “horizontal oil engine” to match the “vertical” in the next line

@TurnipRail This will be a huge loss to the transport history sector. A shining example of collaboration between academia and the heritage sector. So sorry to hear it David.

@Arch_Archive @IrishRail @IrishRailArch @irishrailways If any LTANers find themselves in Dublin in the next couple of months, this could be really interesting. Would love to go myself…
