Appeal to Honorary Secretaries.

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 Secre- taries, especially of Station Branches, for every assistance which they may be good enough to afford in connexidn with the history of their respective Branches (Stations), and for photographs dealing with such history, e.g., photographs of past coxswains, previous Life-boat- houses, past Life-boats, and other valuable records. All such documents should be marked "Centenary Records," and should have an accurate descrip- tion, with names, dates, etc. It is hoped that they can be placed per- manently at the disposal of the Insti- tution, but, where it is particularly desired, every effort would be made to return them eventually. In the case of photographs, it should also be stated on each photograph if it is necessary to obtain permission to reproduce it and, if so, to whom such application should be made.

This notice will appear in every future issue of The Life-Boat till 1923..
