The RLC Vehicle Archive
On this website, only vehicle records and other free materials are available. All the rest of the digital archive is now provided by the RLC Museum in-house
from their new website
However, in the transition from the former RLCArchive.org website to the new RLC Museum website, any customer who has outstanding pay-per-view vouchers will be able to use them
here to view Journals and Gazettes produced by the Forming Corps up to 1993, enlistment books and photographs. No new pay-per-view vouchers can now be purchased from
this website.
All log-in credentials on this website remain unchanged (i.e. user name and password). However, on the new RLC Museum website you will need to create a new account.
B-Vehicle data cards
Key cards
Contract ledger
The Vehicle records that the Museum holds and have been digitised and are available on the web site are :-
- Vehicle history cards which cover records for 4,000 trailers in service from the 1930's up to 1961
- 'Key cards No. 2' which were used from 1948 until the 1960's. These contain less information than the B Vehicle data cards, but are useful because of their early date, and because they are the only record linking the
WW2 WD
number to the
ERM
- 'B' Vehicle data cards which cover records for 209,000 soft skinned vehicles entering service from the 1940's to the 1980's.
- 'Vehicle Key cards' which we believe were used from the late 1960's onwards - the Museum holds information for only 1,000 vehciles on these
- Contract ledgers, which contain details of purchase contracts for vehicles from 1939 until 1974. They can be searched from the Vehicle search page.
- A few Vehicle manuals have been digitised and can be accessed by using the Search the whole archive.
