The National Cycle Archive

The National Cycle Archive consists of many separate collections of books, journals and archives deposited or donated by cycling bodies and individuals. Most are catalogued according to their provenance, but some are catalogued according to their record type. The link above is to a list of all the Archive's component collections. The Archive was established in 1990 by the Cyclists' Touring Club with funds from a bequest by Frank Whitt. Its primary aim is the preservation of records relating to cycles and cycling. The National Cycle Archive Fund is administered by the trustees of the Cycle Touring and Countryside Trust.
