We are a voluntary not-for-profit charitable trust
The Mills Archive Trust is registered in the UK(Registered Charity Number 1091534)
Our first priority is to obtain sufficient funds to protect unique and vulnerable historical material in secure facilities that will also allow users supervised access for detailed study of the original documents.
We are particularly interested to hear from potential benefactors as well as those who may wish to donate material.
