The Archives of Falconry was founded in 1986 by several visionary falconers who were also leaders of The Peregrine Fund. We have since grown into a world-renowned repository of falconry material culture and historical records. The Archives collects and preserves falconry heritage and the legacy of notable falconers, including their correspondence, memorabilia, art, crafts, and life stories. The Archives also interprets significant events in falconry history and celebrates the role of falconers in the birth of raptor conservation. We are a destination for falconers, sportsmen and women, scholars, journalists, and other interested public - to visit, support, learn, and explore this 4500-year-old connection between humans and birds of prey.
