Donating material to Seven Stories
Since our inception, the generous donation of material by authors, illustrators and individual members of the public has enabled us to establish the foundation of a National collection. We also occasionally accept material on long-term loan. Please contact Sarah Lawrance, Collection Director, sarah.lawrance@sevenstories.org.uk to discuss prospective donations, which will help us tell the story of British children's literature more effectively.
"When I was invited to donate some of my manuscripts to Seven Stories I felt extremely honoured. I knew that there could be no better place for my archives. Since then, I have visited the archives and seen the tremendous care with which they’ve been annotated and preserved. I have watched children working from them, and talked to them about the imaginative ways in which they’ve used them. I’m deeply proud to be included in such a valuable resource." - Berlie Doherty, author and collection donor
