Dear List Members,
Can anyone tell me if they know of any archives or museums that have an
interest in collecting material relating to wrestling?
Bolton Museum & Archives has been offered a really interesting collection
that consists of photographs, programmes and film footage dating from World
War Two to the 1970s. The collection relates to the sport on a national and
international level.
Before we accept the donor’s offer (there is no obvious link to Bolton but
it could potentially fall within our collecting policy; wrestling was big
here and there may be a future deposit from a local wrestling superstar) we
would like to check that there are no specialist repositories actively
collecting in this subject area.
Grateful for any information.
Thanks
Caroline
