Help us save the stories that shaped history | British Library

Our conservation team spend over 1,000 hours each month conserving at-risk items in our collection. We do this so that everyone has access to the stories that shaped history. 

As a charity, donations help make all this possible. Help us raise £20,000 this year to conserve a wide range of items, such as the medieval manuscript that annulled King Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne of Cleves and beloved children’s books from the 1700s that preserve doodles by their past owners. 

What’s more – the first £10,000 of donations towards this appeal will be matched thanks to our generous supporters, doubling any gift you make today.
