Tony Wilson Archive (TWA)
The Tony Wilson Archive (TWA) is a collection of documents, ephemera, and personal items kept by Tony Wilson throughout his life. From his early years in Manchester to Cambridge University, Granada TV, Factory Records, The Haçienda, and the Madchester explosion — the archive captures the story of a man who helped shape British music and culture
Preserved for years at the Museum of Science and Industry, the archive has now found a permanent home at the John Rylands Library, where it’s accessible to the public as a cultural resource for Manchester. TWA exists to open up this material to a wider audience — not just to study, but to experience
Run by Oli Wilson, Tony’s son, TWA is a deeply personal project driven by a desire to share his father’s creative world. Limited collections and collaborations will be released throughout the year — reproductions, prints, and new works that reflect Tony’s ethos: working with local artists (for example DR ME from Islington Mill), using high-quality materials, and keeping everything made in Manchester or Salford. This is for the collectors, the fans, and the city that started it all
