Although McMaster's William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections
doesn't have a specific archive for royalty, it does contain a great deal of royal
memorabilia. Handwritten notes from Queen Victoria, official wedding programs from
the marriage of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones and the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II and letters from Princess Margaret and Prince Phillip are all held
within the archives.

Below, Carl Spadoni, director of the William Ready Division of Archives and
Research Collections, talks about a copy of an address given at the wedding of Prince
Charles and Lady Diana as well as the importance of housing royal items.
