Towards our Centenary
As the IHR approaches its centenary, we want to modernise our operations in order to remain the hub of international historical research, for scholars, postgraduates and interested members of the public; for those who want to work in our central London location, and for the many more around the world who visit us here on our website.
We plan to:
- re-develop our world class library, and refurbish our meeting rooms;
- create IHR Digital, an exciting new portal for our electronic services;
- enhance our Research Fellowship programme;
- expand our events and conference programme;
- create a Chair in the History of London.
These new programmes and facilities support the strategic aims of the Institute and will lead to the creation of new income streams for the future. For these purposes, we need to raise just over £3.5 million by 2014.
We are also building a long-term endowment, our over-arching fundraising priority, in order to ensure the Institute’s future. For this we seek to raise £25 million over ten years.
Gifts of all sizes make a
difference, but Major Gifts in particular can have a transformative effect on
the Institute now and in the future.
There are many ways in which our supporters can become involved in the
life of the Institute and many poten
tial forms of recognition.
