Since 1986, the Friends of the IHR have provided invaluable and enthusiastic support for the Institute, its aims and activities.

The contributions from the Friends have enabled the IHR to continue to develop as a centre for research and discussion for all with an interest in history. In recent years, the Friends have contributed generously to the refurbishment of the Common Room, the installation of a much-needed security system in the Library, and the acquisition of new books by the Library.

Anyone from around the world can become a member of the Friends, although there is a separate organisation for US taxpayers - the American Friends of the IHR.
