It costs over £4,000 a year to keep AMHS going. Most of this is the cost of renting our room in the Town Hall where we keep the archive. We have probably the largest archive collection of any local history society in Cumbria, with over 8,000 items catalogued. It's vital that we can keep it safe and secure while enabling* Society members access to it.
