The Everton Collection

The Everton Collection is a timeline of Everton history stemming from the very roots of the Club's existence to the present day.

The Collection features over 10,000 artefacts, including some of football's rarest objects. Many of these pre-date the establishment of organised football and the Football League.

As well as programmes, there are season tickets, ticket stubs, medals, photographs, contracts, cash books, handbooks, financial statements and other ephemera.

Every item amassed in the collection assists in mapping out the Club's distinguished past and its unparalleled heritage. Other items include cigarette cards, postcards and international caps from the turn of the century.

Together they provide a window not only on the Toffees but the roots of our national game as well as give us an insight into Britain's social and industrial history of the past century and beyond.

Future plans of the Collection include permanently displaying selected items in the new Museum of Liverpool, due to open in 2010, as well as electronically cataloguing all the memorabilia.

These proposals will allow Evertonians, football fans, the general public and academics to reminisce and learn about this unique collection of history.
