Putting forums on the record

You can also contact rcn.library@rcn.org.uk or call the RCN Library and Archive Service on 0345 337 3368.



The RCN archive is home to hundreds of thousands of items connected to RCN and nursing history. However, there is a gap when it comes to forum history. Members are being urged to help Save Our Story.

Being able to see the contribution forums have made to the progression of nursing practice is a great motivator and something we should be proud of too. By donating to the RCN archives we can ensure our story is record and celebrated for years to come.

Jason Warriner Chair of the Forums Chairs Committee

What to donate

Any forum related items for example:

  • minutes and paper documents
  • fliers, posters and campaign collateral
  • photographs (with as much information about the images as possible)
  • newsletters and publications
  • conference papers and collateral
  • anything else!
Please be aware, RCN archives does not collect financial information.

It doesn’t matter about the age of your item; old or brand new – collecting them now ensures we have them in the future.
