The Hamburg British Friendly Society was partly administered by Hamburg consulate staff, but the funds were raised from donations by British firms trading in or with Hamburg and the Secretary of the Society was a British businessman living in Hamburg. The aim of the Society was to assist British nationals who fell into financial need while staying in Hamburg.

The records were passed to Guildhall Library in 1992 with records of St Michael and All Angels, Anglican chaplaincy at Hamburg. They were catalogued by a member of Guildhall Library staff around 1992. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the British Friendly Society, comprising accounts, annual reports and accounts, and receipts for money advanced to British citizens in need.

The records have been sorted into an order which reflects divisions between the different functions and operations of the organisation and its administration.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information may be subject to access restrictions.

Copyright to these records rests with the depositor.
