R&RTHA - Corporate Members - The Kithead Trust

The Kithead Trust came into being through concerns that much historical material of the National Bus Company would be lost or dispersed when the subsidiary companies were privatized and NBC itself wound up.

It was John Austin Birks initiative in 1987 that led to the formation of The Kithead Trust and the rescue of many important records. Since its formation much other material has been donated to the Trust which now includes papers and publications relating to all forms of transport. Particularly well used are the motor vehicle taxation records, of which a large quantity are held.

The Trust is governed by a small group of volunteer trustees. It has no general membership from which to secure income and funding comes entirely from donations. The trustees confidently expect that the archive will become an increasingly valuable resource for historians as the years go by.
