The Rothschild Archive
http://www.rothschildarchive.org
Run by a charitable trust set up in 1999, The Archive holds over
two million items drawn together from the history of the
Rothschild banks and family. At the core of the Archive lie the
records of the firm of NM Rothschild & Sons, the London branch
of the banking dynasty, supplemented by a growing range of
acquisitions of papers from members of the Rothschild family.
The Archive represents possibly the most detailed surviving
record of an international banking operation in the 19th and
early 20th centuries and of a family with artistic, charitable
and scientific interests at the heart of European society.
