Archive

margaretthatcher.org reviews new releases of material relating to Margaret Thatcher in archives around the world and puts the best of them on-line. It works also with the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust to publish the most significant papers from MT's own files as they are released to the public.

Overview

The Archive section of this site contains more than a thousand documents–most of them declassified or previously unpublished–relating to Margaret Thatcher's personal and political life, from childhood onwards. Many of the documents derive from MT's private papers in Cambridge, which are now open for study up to 1979.

Other sources include US Presidential Libraries (Ford, Carter, Reagan & Bush) and the National Archives (TNA) in London.

Most of the documents are images of the originals, in PDF format.
