Established in 2012, the National Museum of Roller Derby (NMRD) is the UK’s first permanent collection of ephemera and memorabilia relating to the sport of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby. Our ‘Object of the Month’ celebrates objects from our ever expanding collections.
We want your old team shirts, flyers, zines and other paraphernalia to illustrate the remarkable development of the sport in the UK. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for future announcements on how to donate items to the Museum.

Two Glasgow flyers, the one on the left dates from the early days of the league when they were known as Glasgow Roller Girls and myspace was THE social networking site. The right shows Chaos on the Clyde, the first WFTDA tournament held in Scotland by the renamed Glasgow Roller Derby. The second picture is an article from the Daily Record in 2012 publishing the tournament and telling new skaters how to get involved.
