The Friends of Historic Essex is a charity which has been supporting the work of the Essex Record Office and research into Essex history since 1954.

The Friends of Historic Essex raise funds to:

• Purchase documents for permanent preservation at the Essex Record Office, so they can be made available to researchers both now and in the future
• Conserve documents at the Essex Record Office, to give them the best chance of long term survival
• Support projects at the Essex Record Office that provide opportunities for people to discover, use and enjoy their collections
• Publish books and copies of historic maps
• Purchase materials for education activities
• Support researchers working on Essex history

Support us by becoming a member for just £12 a year.
