Our Facilities

The Textile Archive

We have recently moved to the Lister Bulding at Bradford College - read how to find us.

Bradford College Textile Archive welcomes researchers.

Cataloguing and digitisation of our vast collections is ongoing – Bradford was a hugely successful international centre of textile manufactures and so generated an enormous amount of goods! If you can’t find what you’re looking for in our online search facility please have a friendly chat with our Curator who will be happy to help with your enquiry.


The Lister Building has a café on the ground floor where you can purchase beverages and snacks until 4pm. 

Visits are booked in advance via our appointment request form, you can download it here

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
