The archive collection is used for research by students, academics, school pupils, interested individuals and M&S colleagues

While the archive team can help with quick questions about the archive collection or M&S history, we can’t undertake detailed research for you. Instead, we will help you to navigate and access the collection so that you can undertake your research yourself.

For operational business reasons, or to comply with Data Protection legislation, personal or commercially sensitive material may be restricted or closed access. Our Archive Catalogue includes access status, so that it’s easy to see whether restrictions apply to specific items. You don’t need to provide a letter of introduction or proof of identify to use the collection.
