Gresham Fire and Accident Insurance Society was founded in 1910 as a sister company to Gresham Life Assurance Society. It was taken over by Legal and General Assurance Society in 1934. The Society was based at St Mildred's House, Poultry (1910-24) and 188-90 Fleet Street (from 1924).

Records covering the life assurance business only, consisting primarily of policy registers, were deposited by Legal and General Assurance in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library on 22 September 1977. These records were withdrawn by the depositor on 31 August 1990 and returned to the Manuscripts Section, as a gift, on 19 January 1996, along with the main archive of the Company, (except the board minutes, which were a deposit rather than a gift), at which point it was decided that a sample of only two volumes of building society policy registers would be kept out of an original series of 106 volumes (Ms 18478). The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the Gresham Fire and Accident Insurance Society, including memorandum and articles of association; minutes and agendas; annual reports and accounts; registers; financial records; papers regarding foreign and overseas business; specimens of forms and policies; and staff registers.

Records arranged by MS number, assigned during cataloguing at the Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section.
