The Isthmian Programme Archive is now live! This area shows around 4,600 programme cover images in total and is completely FREE to use. As far as I am aware, this is the largest League programme archive in the World, but if you know different, please let me know!

It's taken a couple of years to put together and I have tried my best to produce the best images I can from anywhere I can get them, but if there are any that you believe you can improve on, please just send the images in to me at: richard.c.lambert@gmail.com Thank you!

This archive is currently split into two areas; one by season, and one for specific clubs that have been members of the League for 25 years, of which there are currently 75. A third area will appear in July which covers all first team Cup Finals and Charity Shields over the years. Just select by clicking on the relevant button below.

I have grouped some clubs where I am satisfied that there is continuity. For example AFC Hornchurch and Hornchurch are grouped together, while I have also grouped Tufnell Park and Haringey Borough. However, Leytonstone, Ilford, Hayes and also Yeading all had their own individual histories, so the two mergers that followed are considered separate club for statistical purposes, although those newer programmes also appear if one of the longer serving clubs are in the legendary club section. The most controversial decision probably relates to Leyton, who have undergone a number of name changes before becoming Walthamstow and I have grouped all of these clubs into one. If anyone feels really strongly about any of my decisions, just let me know!

I have had huge assistance from well over a hundred people. Some have provided many images, while some were able to supply a handful of the harder to get covers as my "missing" list reduced. You all know who you are, but I particularly wanted to thank Richard Coulthard, Graham Frost, Mark Smith, Nick Robinson, Robert Dale, Steve Parsons, Steve King, Ken Holmes, Philip Heady, Neil Harvey, Mark Kettlety, Lester Medcalf, Ray Stanton, Mervyn Rees, John Wheeler, Mike Woods, Steve Growns, Alex Crane, Jim Tuite, Jim Maycock, Pete Bonney, Mark Frake, Ian Townsend and a large number of Club Secretaries. I couldn't have done this without you!

I still need 185 images in total, just 22 of which are post war issues. Please click on the buttons lower down to find two lists of the images that I still require to enable me to create this. If at all possible, I would like a scanned front cover image, instead of one taken by phone, as I am after the highest quality I can get hold of, and phone images just don't seem to be square enough!

Finally, I am also after a fully scanned image of every Isthmian Cup Final or Charity Shield programme, and am missing just 14 of these now. A list of these is also available lower down the page. Even if you have just one of these, please help!
