  • Minutes and accounts
  • Media including publicity materials
  • Literature relating to Parkside Pit Camp
  • Petitions, address lists and visitors' book
  • Papers relating to fundraising
  • Videos
  • Photographs

The Library also holds a large and beautiful campaign banner.

All the material is available to be viewed in the Library.
