Support us
We are a registered charity. We have no government funding. We rely on memberships, donations, legacies and grants to survive as an organisation and to ensure that our collections survive for future generations.
We preserve the records of everyday lives and make them available to anyone wanting to understand where they’ve come from – exceptional assets that capture the unfolding, unofficial history of us all.
Surely that’s worth supporting.
