To 'sum up', another way to help...

The Friends of Gloucestershire Archives is a registered charity that was founded nearly 30 years ago to support the work of Gloucestershire Archives. We raise funds to allow the Archives to 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.

Every year thousands of people benefit from the unique records held at Gloucestershire Archives, informing and inspiring their learning and research.  With your help the Friends can continue supporting this valuable service, gathering, keeping and sharing the archives and the wealth of human stories they contain for current and future generations.

Every gift, no matter the size, will help us continue our vital work and could support us in purchasing ‘at risk’ collections, cataloguing and conserving significant documents, or learning and outreach activities.  There is a collection box in the Reception for cash donations.  However, we have now recently purchased a Sum Up machine which accepts card payments. Archives staff involved with Reception duties have been shown how to use it so please ask them for help if you wish to make a donation via this route. 

​And if you have any questions about the work of the Friends of Gloucestershire Archives and would like to join us, please contact us at: contact@foga.online

Thank you.
