Our archive holds over 100,000 items on 800m of shelving. If you are researching the history of the Corps or of an individual who has served with the RLC or our Forming Corps, we can help.
Start by reading our research guide that answers many common questions and can support you in your research journey.
We have an extensive searchable online archive which we add to regularly. Information about vehicle record cards can be found here.
If you would like us to undertake research on your behalf, contact us by post or email.
Please note that we don’t hold service records of individual soldiers which means that whilst we may be able to report on a unit’s activity or history and provide context to a soldier’s service, we are unlikely to be able to provide information on specific movements, locations or actions.
Our Research Enquiry Service carries an initial charge of £25 for the first hour and £10 per hour for every subsequent hour, up to a maximum of three additional hours. Our team will be able to advise and agree the total cost with you before the start of work.
If your enquiry is for commercial purposes (for example for a book or film use) a consultancy fee, reproduction fee or photocopying charges may apply. Our team will be able to give you a personalised quote for any work undertaken before they begin research on your behalf.
