Old A Level papers

There's a few on this site, I don't think the A Level maths one is there though (they have O level, which I think was the equivalent of GCSE)

Is there any location where I can find details of the old (preferably around 1950/1960s) syllabus for A Level maths, along with any past papers/notes for these topics?

Also, which books are there that cover these topics and are still available now (it doesn't matter if they're slightly out of print as long as they're available from the internet).

search for jmb a level maths - there are plenty available

Books by Dakin & Porter were standard texts when I taught A level in those days.
Porter's Further Mathematics is a free download at
https://archive.org/details/FurtherMathematics.
Other good standard texts are those bt Bostock & Chandler and Quadling & Ramsay for Mexchanics.

Brian could you remove the last link? It may be clean but Sabbir, the owner, is known to me and has previously distributed malware from that site. He also used to sell herbal remedies that he promised would cure cancer and diabetes but that is another story.

No, I'm not.

I have A level English Lit papers dating back to 1948 up in the attic somewhere, but I don't suppose that's any use to any one... A retiring teacher gave them to me when I was first starting out. I guess it's my turn to pass the baton on soon. It used to be possible to buy bound copies of a whole year's O level papers back in the days of the JMB. I have one for somewhere in the region of 1975 in the same pointless mouldering archive in the attic. I just can't quite bring myself to chuck them away, given their rarity, but I guess they should go. OP should try ebay, perhaps.

I meant "friend" not friend. I'm referring to the nutjob you asked me about the other day.
