- About the Ski Club
- Archives & Library
Having existed for over 120 years, it goes without saying that the Ski Club has a huge amount of history. From pins and badges to skis and jackets, the Club’s archives are a treasure trove of the Club’s course and that of skiing itself.
Since 2018, the Club’s archives have been held by De Montfort University, Leicester. They sit alongside other sporting archives including those of England Boxing and Leicester Tigers Rugby Club as part of their Special Collections, and are well looked after by the team there. The Club’s archives and library are free to visit and open to public, so if you are a researcher looking at social or sporting history, or looking into your family history, we are ready to welcome you to the archives.
