The four Foundation Collections are:
The Private Collections of M M Cookson, J K Major, A Stoyel
These represent three of the largest collections of material
on traditional mills and milling in the UK. Between them they
represent more than 130 years of researching and working with
mills, and collecting and publishing information. The collections
cover many areas of interest and will be progressively catalogued
over the coming years.
The SPAB Mills Section Collection
Since its establishment in the early 1930's, the Section
has been left large collections of material created and assembled
by various mill researchers and enthusiasts. As the Section
does not have the space or the expertise to develop these
collections, nor to accept further deposits, it has agreed
to pass them to the Mills Archive to better care for them
and to improve public access:
