Welcome



This is the online catalogue for the collections owned by the Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust. For an advanced search or to browse items use the links in the top banner above. You can create your own clipboard if you wish to save, print or download lists of found items. For help with searching see Search tips.

This catalogue is currently being developed and new descriptions of material will be added over time. If there is anything that you would like to see in person, or if you would like some help or information, please contact our Archivist.

Please note that most of the archives dating from before the Trust was established in 1952 are held as part of the Brunel Collection by the Brunel Institute. These collections are referenced DM484 and DM1929 and descriptions of them can found in the University of Bristol's online catalogue.

This online catalogue uses AtoM; a fully web based archival description application that is based on International Council on Archives (ICA) standards. AtoM is an acronymn for Access to Memory.
