The Borthwick Institute is an archive of historic records, in particular those relating to the diocese of York; the York NHS Trust; the business archives of Rowntree Mackintosh, Terry's and Vickers Scientific Instuments; the archives of the Earls of Halifax and other family and estate papers; and the Atkinson Brierly Collection of architectural plans.
To view records an appointment should be made with the archive searchroom. The institute is part of the University of York.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
