Donating Material to the Archive

The Trust is particularly interested in acquiring additional material or objects associated with the Macpherson, Smith, Schutt and related families. For instance, we only have two photographs of Helen, one of which is her passport photo.

If you have something you would like to donate to the Trust's Archive, our Archivist would be happy to discuss your donation with you and explain how we look after items in the Archive.

All donations to the Trust Archives should be accompanied by a Deed of Gift form.

Location of the Archive

The Archive is located at the Trust offices.
