Based in London, the organization preserves a broad collection spanning medieval to modern times, in paper, digital formats, photographs, maps, posters, and paintings. It holds more than 11 million items, making its collection one of the largest of its kind worldwide and enabling the nation's history to be read through its documents and artefacts.
