The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded the University of Teesside £250,000 to work with Teesside Archives to bring the largely unknown British Steel Archive to the public.

| Clarence Iron Works, 1910 |
The collection contains the original plans to Sydney Harbour Bridge and images of the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland, the Auckland Harbour Bridge in New Zealand, and the Bangkok Memorial Bridge in Thailand.

| India House, London, 1920s |
Until now the archive has previously been virtually inaccessible to the public and contains unsorted material drawn from over 40 iron and steel companies active in the Teesside area between 1840 and 1980.

| Sydney Harbour Bridge, 1930s |
Teesside Archive plans to digitise the documents, which are held at Middlesbrough County Archive, in order to put as much of the information as possible on the Internet.
