The Peel Club
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
Archives
This brief catalogue lists some of the assets and historical documents held by The Peel Club archives. It is not updated regularly.
The collection is part of the Club's endowment as a learned society. It deepens our connection to the original club founded in 1836, and bolsters our claim to continuity as a legitimate re-establishment.
Requests from the general public and relevant institutions to view or examine the materials will be considered at the Club's discretion.
