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.
By leaving us a gift in your will, you can help ensure that our work and unique facilities can be improved and extended for future generations. There are a number of different ways to give through your will and your donation will be exempt from Inheritance Tax.
Depositing your research collection can be a good way to ensure your family history survives and is accessible to other researchers in the future.
By sending a donation online, your money will be instantly put to good use on one of our many ongoing projects. We welcome all support so please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to make an offline donation.
As a member, you can make the most of our resources, access our experts, and find a welcoming community of people interested in family history and genealogy.
We all have roots. Let’s find them together.
