British Airlines
Welcome to the British Airways Heritage Collection.
British Airways celebrated its 90th anniversary on 25 August 2009. To mark the occasion, the British Airways Heritage website was launched on ba.com.
Heritage Collection
The British Airways Heritage Collection has existed since the formation of British Airways. It was formed to preserve the records and artefacts of British Airways' predecessor companies BOAC, BEA, BSAA and the pre-war Imperial Airways Limited as well as British Airways Ltd.
The collection comprises an extensive document archive recording the formation, development and operations of these companies and British Airways as well as memorabilia and artefacts.
Over 400 uniforms from the 1930s to the present day are preserved, as well as a large collection of aircraft models.
A historically important library of thousands of photographs is also available as well as probably the most complete set of aviation posters in the UK.
Many of the photographs and posters from the collection are now available to view in our website galleries. Copies of these photographs and posters are also available to purchase.
