Archives and collections

From photographs of spinal injuries patients at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the 1940s, to modern prosthetic racing blades, our archives and collections will reveal to you the fascinating stories of our National Paralympic Heritage.

The NPHT has service agreements with the Centre of Buckinghamshire Studies and Bucks County Museum Trust to catalogue and care for our collections using nationally recognised standards. This important work is supported by the Wellcome Trust and Heritage Lottery Fund as a project called ‘Spinal to Sport’.

We are very keen to develop our collection and if you would like to donate or loan items to us please contact our office in the first instance, telephone: 01296 489929 or email: [email protected]. The process of depositing items to us is explained in this downloadable pdf.

We would also love you to get involved and share your stories and items and add them to our collection. Find out more below.
