Leave a legacy

By leaving a gift to the British Library in your Will, you will continue to make a difference to the world’s knowledge in years to come.

Legacies are greatly appreciated and carefully used: you can be assured that we will follow your wishes as closely as we can.

Recent legacies to the British Library have had a tremendous impact, enabling us to make acquisitions of music manuscripts that we would never otherwise have been able to purchase; providing much-needed funds for our Conservation programme; and endowing an expert curator post.

If you are considering leaving a gift in your Will to the British Library and would like to discuss options or would like more information, please contact us.

The joy of words in a bound form that can be held, loved and enjoyed not only for its content but also for its physical presence should be supported.

Family and friends wanted to adopt a book in memory of Colin Cameron, a wonderful father who with an enquiring mind was an avid reader of books of all genres. There can be no more appropriate way to commemorate him than through the adoption of "Six sonatas for two German flutes."
