Drawing Registers List Description: The drawing registers are historical lists of engineering drawings produced by the drawing offices of the various railway works. They were produced at the same time as the drawings were created. The drawing registers were originally used by railway company staff to find and keep track of their drawings. They are a useful secondary finding aid if your search on the drawing list or archive catalogue is inconclusive. Not all the drawings listed in the registers have survived into the National Railway Museum’s collections so it’s a good idea to return to our lists or catalogue to check before making a request to access drawings in Search Engine. System of arrangement: This list brings together registers from different works. As the drawing registers were created and maintained separately by each railway company or works drawing office there are a number of arrangement schemes used. Some of the registers are arranged by sequential drawing number, some by lot number and some by locomotive class.
