High Wycombe Furniture Archive

The High Wycombe Furniture Archive (HWFA) was developed at our High Wycombe campus. It contains photographic and print material relating to furniture companies in the High Wycombe region, primarily from Ercol Limited and E. Gomme Limited (G-Plan). 

The HWFA was funded by a Resource Enhancement Grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in 2006. The website was first launched in August 2009, with additional material added on a regular basis.
