Conservation appeal
You've helped us keep the stories in our collections safe.
Stories that help people make sense of the past and present. To find answers to today’s challenges.
We launched the 2025 conservation appeal to raise funds for our vital conservation work, and raised a staggering £58,326.
Our supporters have helped us care for the knowledge held in our collections, from scrolls saved from Herculaneum after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE to a 14th century charter issued by Edward III.
If you'd still like to make a difference, all additional donations will help us keep the extraordinary stories in our collections safe for generations to come.
