ISTEL Artefacts Details
A key objective of the Ex ISTEL Employees Project was to ensure that the name ISTEL and the successes the company achieved will be remembered and available for future generations.
A key to achieving this objective has been to collect artefacts, memorabilia and memories which illustrate those achievements and ensuring that those archives of stored in a long-term archive.
We are pleased that we have succeeded in such a assembling such collection and that the British Motor Museum in Gaydon has agreed to become the long-term home for them.
The artefacts we have collected have been digitised where possible and used both to create this web site and to provide input to enable the BMM Archivist at Gaydon to quickly asimulate details of the collection into their Archive management system.
In this section of the web site we present a summary of that data.
The collection, referred to as the Fond, is sub divided into categories, referred to as Sub Fonds, and topic, referred to a s Sub Sub Fonds. Withing each individual topic there are items which detail each artefact.
This categorisation is our interpretation of the collection, the Gaydon Archivists may choose to document them differently.
The pages in this section of the web site presents that data.
