We’re home to over 170 million collection items, each one telling a story that has helped shape the world we know today. 

As a charity, we rely on your generosity to share these stories with everyone. 

By supporting us today, you could help spark a child’s lifelong love of learning. Set a student on a journey of discovery. Save a manuscript for future generations. 

Together, we can open up our collection as a source of inspiration for everyone. 

Please contact supporters@bl.uk if you’d like to learn more about supporting a specific area of our work, whether it’s conserving ancient manuscripts, our International Dunhuang Project, or pushing the boundaries of digital research. 

If you’re interested in donating a physical or digital item to our collection, please email donations@bl.uk.
