Welcome to our Online Collections Database!
The Royal Logistic Corps Museum conserves and displays many different objects and archives covering over 200 years of history, including those from our more recent Forming Corps: Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps, Royal Engineers Postal and Courier Section.
Our collection includes uniforms, badges, medals, weapons and other equipment, as well as fine and decorative arts. We have a small, but fascinating collection of military vehicles, including the Rolls Royce Wraith staff car, used in Normandy during the Second World War by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, horse-drawn logistics vehicles and motor lorries.

Tips for Searching
Keyword Search
The Keyword Search button allows you to perform a general search across multiple fields for any catalog records online. Keyword searches use OR as the default connector between words (e.g. a search for Ordnance Corps will return records associated with Ordnance OR Corps). If you want to find records where both keywords are found, type in AND between the two words. To search for a specific phrase, be sure to put the phrase within quotes (e.g. "Army Ordnance Corps"). You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard (e.g. a search for histor* would come up with records containing history, histories, historical, etc.). Searches are not case sensitive.
Advanced Search
The Advanced Search button can help you be more specific with your search. You can search for a word or phrase within a particular search category or use multiple categories to further narrow down your search results. For example, searching White in the People field will bring up any records associated with a member of the White family, without having to sift through black & white photographs. You can also search People and Creator records through Advanced Search. Phrase searching with quotes and use of wildcards (*) are available in Advanced Search.
Random Images
The Random Images button is a great way to just browse the collection. Each Random Images page displays a random assortment of images from the records online. If something piques your interest, click the thumbnail to view a larger version of the image.
