In 1937, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB).[2] The Cardiff Metropolitan University Library has the Rackham Collection of over 70 books written or edited by Bernard Rackham, together with books from his personal collection and associated objects donated by the Rackham family.[5]
