Promoting and Assisting Surveys and Research

In addition to providing assistance for research on railways and transportation, the Foundation also collects railway-related information.

*Funding Research in Transportation
-
To explore the social role of railways, the Foundation sponsors independent research into railway management, engineering, and the future of railways with the aim of nurturing new research and encouraging younger scholars. image

*Conserving Railway-related Documents and Materials
-
Historical records of social events have untold value for the future but they can be easily lost, damaged or mislaid so the Foundation is conserving and archiving as many records as possible for handing on to future generations.

* Publishing Digital Reference Materials
-

The Foundation is using the excellent archive characteristics and simplicity of digital media to publish a useful and valuable record of its activities.
