THE Secretary of the Institution pro- poses, if possible, to compile its history for publication in 1924, and he will be most grateful to all Honorary Secretaries, especially of Station Branches, for every assistance which they may be good enough to afford in connexion with the history of their respective Branches (Stations), and for photographs dealing with such history, e.g., photographs of past coxswains, previous Life-boat and houses, past Life - boats, boat and other valuable records. All such documents should be marked "Centenary Records," and should have an accurate description, with names, dates, etc. It is hoped that they can be placed permanently at the disposal of the Institution, but, where it is particularly desired, every effort would be made to return them eventually.

This notice will appear in every future issue of the JOURNAL till 1923.
