The first week<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve been up and running for just over a week now and adding content on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

The big update was 54 programmes from 1986-87<\/a> – George Graham’s first in charge of Arsenal. All first team competitive home games are available along with David O’Leary’s testimonial against Celtic, the Littlewoods Cup final, a few away games and reserve team single sheets. Plenty to keep you occupied.<\/p>\n

We’ve also been given permission from Arsenal FC to include some items from the Arsenal Museum archive that we photographed on a recent visit whilst looking for suitable material for our regular feature in the Arsenal Magazine. These have either never been published before or very rarely, and we hope to be including many more of these.<\/p>\n

Another c\"\"ollector of very rare Arsenal memorabilia has given us access to their collection and we have already published one of their items<\/a>. Finally, we have also received a donation of a considerable number of programmes from a good friend. To both of these people we would like to offer our sincere thanks.<\/p>\n

As we will be adding to The Arsenal Collection on daily basis, we recommend that you subscribe to the blog and follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to ensure that you don’t miss out on any new items that we add.<\/p>\n
