We’re adding to our extensive collections about traditional wind and water mills to tell the story of the most recent phase of flour milling, roller flour mills.
Changes in technology in the 19th century including steam power and the development of the roller mill led to a revolution in flour milling in which rural wind and watermills were replaced by big industrial mills. You can read more about it in our history of flour milling, "From quern to computer."
To capture this history the Mills Archive is collecting records of roller flour mills. Here are some of the treasures we’ve already received.
