News From The Pensions Archive
Alan Herbert, Chairman of The Pensions Archive Trust

The Pensions Archive has recently started receiving its first collections.  Paul Thornton, former Senior Partner of Watson Wyatt, has passed over a number of publications and reports following his retirement from the firm. More recently Sue Ward, the well known pensions journalist and trustee who is retiring from her work in pensions sent eight boxes of reports and papers accumulated over the years.  She has also made arrangements for her personal writings on pension issues to be donated to the Pensions Archive in the future. These collections will be catalogued and made available for reference to the public.

Alan Philipp, the publisher of “Pension Funds and their Advisers” to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the launch of the publication is donating to the Pensions Archive a complete set from 1978.  There are also a number of other collections from organisations and individuals that have been promised to the Pensions Archive.  We are extremely grateful for the donation of these collections and for the interest that is being shown in the Pensions Archive project.

If readers or their organisations have papers related to the development of occupational and personal pensions which they need to find a home for do please contact me.

The London Metropolitan Archives, which is running the Pensions Archive, has advertised for a Project Archivist and interviews will be taking place shortly.  The successful candidate will become responsible for running the Pensions Archive which will include receiving in collections and cataloguing them.
