We are pleased to announce the Delia Derbyshire Day archive at John Rylands Research Institure and Library, Manchester, is now accessible.
You can access the archive catalogue online via the Elgar online system. You can visit the collection in person at John Rylands Research Institure and Library on Deansgate in Manchester, by contacting the Special Collections Team and booking in an appointment in the Reading Room. We think the Reading Room is accessible to all, but you do have to be over 16 years old.

The DD Day archive has been set up at John Rylands Library (JRRIL) in Manchester, thanks to work of archivist Imogen Durant. It has come about thanks to National Lottery Heritage Fund support as part of our DD Day 2023 heritage project.
Items include promotional material and press since the first DD Day in 2013, transcriptions of new oral histories relating to DD Day, Doctor Who and Delia as well as artefacts from our work in schools, final pieces and working notes from commissioned artists since 2013.
We are pleased to preserve and represent a wider range of people in heritage. This is a living archive so will be added to every 2 years. Click here to read more about the DD Day Archive.
