Deposit records

We are happy to accept deposits of unique, historic records that reflect the borough of St Helens, it people and places - past and present into the borough archive collections.  The documents we hold come from organisations and individuals and are stored in conditions suitable for their permanent preservation. Documents may also be cleaned, repackaged, or repaired to ensure their longevity.  If you have documents you feel might be of interest, please contact us for further information and a tour of our facilities.

Volunteer with us

Our volunteers assist with digitisation, conservation, cataloguing and engagement and take part for a variety of reasons, from local interests and personal wellbeing to gaining experience for future qualifications. 

Our current project is a remote volunteering task, transcribing photographers' diaries from the 1960s-1980s to make the photographic negative collection more accessible. This could be carried out from home or using a public computer in a branch library if preferred.
