Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust is home to the most extensive archive of Jaguar Cars in the world, with records dating back to the 1890s. We preserve and make accessible the documented history of Jaguar Cars and its predecessor companies; from the very beginning of The Swallow Side Car Company, established in 1922, through to SS Cars of the 1930s and up to the present day custodians, Jaguar Land Rover. We also collect records from the Lanchester and Daimler marques, which were both acquired by Jaguar Cars in 1960.

The archive holds records which celebrate Jaguar Cars’ corporate and engineering achievements but also records which contribute to our understanding of the social history of the automotive industry. We ensure that these fascinating and unique records are preserved and enjoyed by future generations.

We provide a variety of services where enthusiasts, owners, researchers and broadcasters/ publishers can enjoy and access our unique Archive:
