We need your help: AIM25 is a free-to-use database of archives and manuscript collections from many of London's higher education institutions, learned societies, cultural organisations and City livery companies. However, as a registered charity we need your help to stay online. Your donation will help with the operational costs of this service and will be very much appreciated. If you would like to sponsor AIM25 then please contact us. Many thanks for your support.

About AIM25

AIM25 is an educational charity supporting the development of and public access to historical archives held in the London area.

Archives come in many forms, but include old photographs, diaries, maps, sound and film recordings and much more. They are usually unique and irreplaceable and tell many stories about the history of London and the world. Furthermore, many historic archives remain at risk, for example when the owners of collections move home, when buildings are cleared out prior to redevelopment or when organisations run out of space.

AIM25 provides online access to collection level descriptions from the archives of over one hundred and fifty higher education institutions, learned societies, local authorities, cultural organisations and livery companies within the region, for the purposes of research, teaching and public enjoyment.

This work is in progress - new data is always being added, so please visit often to see latest additions.
