What to expect
Our online catalogue contains detailed descriptions of the collections held in the IET Archives, including company records, institutional records and personal papers of eminent scientists and engineers. It also includes images from our photograph collection.
Once you’ve found what you need, set up an appointment to visit the Archives Centre and view the material you’ve found. We need one week to recall some material from our off-site facility.
Contact us with any queries and to book an appointment.
IET Archives moving image collections
We are currently working with London's Screen Archives (LSA) to host our digitised film collection. This is an exciting opportunity to work with LSA - a unique network of over 70 organisations to preserve and share our history on film. The network is managed by Film London and encompasses organisations that hold heritage film collections across London.
Visit the IET Archives film collection on the LSA website.
As we work with them more moving images will be added to the catalogue for you to view.
We’re upgrading our contact centre to make it quicker and easier for you to speak to the right member of our team.
From Thursday, 30 to Friday, 31 October, our phone lines will be temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our systems. For any urgent enquiries during this time, please email membership@theiet.org and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
From Monday, 3 November, we’re moving to one central phone number for all enquiries. This change will make it easier to reach the right team quickly and improve your experience.
