The Friends is a registered charity and raises funds so that the Archives can obtain documents and equipment beyond the scope of statutory funding. Members come from all over the world but those living locally have the opportunity to attend regular talks and to participate in visits to places of historical interest.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the historical heritage of Gloucestershire. Perhaps you live in the county, your ancestors came from there, or you're just interested in the history of the county. All are welcome!
Members enjoy a biannual newsletter brimming with interesting news and articles. Those within reach of Gloucester can also attend special talks and outings. There are volunteering opportunities too.
The membership fee is small, just £10 a year for individual members, £15 for a family and £20 for an organisation. Although modest, the membership fees taken together enable the Friends to provide essential support to the Archives.
