Is there an Imperial Airways museum?

Is there a museum in Britain that holds archival material from Imperial Airways? If so, do they have 1930’s records of staff members?

The Imperial Airways archive is part of the BA Museum Collection: http://www.bamuseum.com/index.html as indeed are the BEA, BOAC material.

Not delved into their material so not sure of the range or depth of the collection but the website has full contact details.

All the best

British Airways as the successors to Imperial have a small museum at Heathrow and the current edition of A****plane has a little article on it if you are interested. Apparently viewing is by appointment only but if you have an interest in it then I gues you won’t mind making an appointment, I may even make a booking for myself and I’m not that into Airlines and airliners but it’s part of our aviation heritage so has to be worth a look.
