Legacy Giving

Since our inception, bequests from our friends and benefactors have helped the Institute of Historical Research continue in its role of supporting historians wherever they are to be found.

Remembering the Institute in your will is the most personal of gifts. Once you have remembered those closest to you, there are a number of ways you can support the IHR by including us in your will.

You can find out more information about tax relief when you donate to a charity.
