As we are a UK Registered Educational Charity...
If you are a UK tax payer you may increase the value of your membership subscription by signing a Gift Aid Declaration. There is no commitment to a minimum period of membership. Joining the HMRS and giving us a Declaration helps to make a big difference in saving important, and making available for study, archival material that might otherwise be lost forever.
We look forward to welcoming you...
