The Archives Fund

With administrative records dating back to the College's foundation in 1441, and records of estates granted by King Henry VI dating back to the 11th Century, there are many conservation requirements for the College Archives. A conservation programme for cleaning, repairing, re-housing, and re-binding is already place, but we would like to ask for your support in continuing this vital work.

An autographed edition of Jane Austen’s 'Sanditon' has gone on loan to Harewood House in Yorkshire as part of their new exhibition ‘Austen and Turner: A Country House Encounter’. The manuscript was gifted to King’s in 1930 by Jane’s great-great niece Mary Isabella Lefroy, who was the sister-in-law of King's Provost Augustus Austen Leigh (1840-1905). 👉 Learn more about the exhibition and King's surprising Austen connection: external link 📷taken by College Librarian James on his visit to Harewood House #JaneAusten #Sanditon #PrideAndPrejudice #Archives
