The RCHS was founded in 1954 to bring together
all those interested in the history of transport, with particular reference
to railways and waterways.
Its main objects are to promote historical research and to raise the
standard of published history. The Society promotes research through its
publications and through its collections of photographs and other archival
material. It provides advice to serious researchers about the location of
primary and secondary research resources and the practice of research and it
is consulted by national bodies on the preservation of transport records and
structures. To encourage the writing of well-researched, interesting and
readable books it promotes an annual book prize.
