M&S Company Archive

The M&S Company Archive opened to the public in 2012. Housed in the Michael Marks Building at the University of Leeds, we are open Monday - Friday 10.00-5.00. Our permanent exhibition, Marks in Time, celebrates the role that M&S has played in peoples’ lives. The exhibition features iconic items from the archive collection that vividly show the development and impact M&S has had on the social history of Britain. From Boardroom battles to staff welfare, from puddings to pants, the exhibition explores how M&S has led the way in innovation, quality and service. Come and find out more about our heritage through clothing, merchandise, old photographs, vintage films and rare documents. It’s all part of our interactive exhibition telling the M&S story. We also have an exciting schools programme and run events and activities for all ages throughout the year, please see our website for more details.
