This section of the website, catalogues and showcases items held in the collection and is the starting point for researchers and reviewers. The individual catalogues will be published and built up over time to become a more comprehensive and complete research tool with an aim to make the vast collection available for research.

The centrepiece of the archive is the impressive audio and video collection of recordings dating back to the start of Petula Clark’s career. The collection also includes a significant gathering of collected works; original photographs, sheet music, handbills, programmes, posters, news cuttings, books and periodicals. The archive is actively collecting when it can.

The collection has been utilised by the BBC and ITV for the television documentaries Blue Lady for BBC Four, Coming Home for BBC Wales and Petula Clark, A South Bank Show Special and London Tonight for the ITV network.
