We are proud to announce the official opening of the Irving Collection — an exclusive archive featuring a remarkable selection of rare historical items, documents, and personal collections curated over decades by renowned historian and author David Irving.
For the first time, a private collection once accessible only to a small circle of researchers is now available to a wider audience of scholars, collectors, and history enthusiasts.
What is the Irving Collection?
The Irving Collection is a carefully preserved assembly of primary source materials, private papers, correspondence, rare transcripts, unpublished research notes, government documents, and historical photographs — many of which are not available anywhere else.
Curated by David Irving during his extensive career as a researcher of twentieth-century history, this collection provides an unparalleled window into the political, military, and social dynamics that shaped the modern world.
It is more than just an archive — it is a living record of historical inquiry, offering firsthand materials that challenge, deepen, and expand our understanding of some of history’s most pivotal events.
Highlights of the Collection:
-
Original wartime documents and transcripts from WWII and its aftermath
-

Whether you are researching the Second World War, studying diplomatic history, or simply seeking primary sources that shed light on hidden chapters of the twentieth century, the Irving Collection offers a treasure trove of materials for serious inquiry.
Why This Matters
In an era where historical narratives are increasingly contested, access to original sources has never been more important.
The Irving Collection represents a commitment to preserving the raw, unfiltered materials of history — allowing researchers to draw their own conclusions based on firsthand evidence.
It also offers insight into the methods of historical research itself: how archives are built, how narratives are constructed, and how history is documented for future generations.

The Irving Collection is now open online, with new items being digitized and made available regularly.
We invite you to explore this rare and important archive — and to join us in preserving the spirit of independent historical inquiry.
