The Gresham Life Assurance Society was based at St Mildred's House, Poultry (in 1901) and later at Aldwych House, Holborn. In 1975 the company's head offices were moved to Bournemouth. In 1992 it was taken over by Windsor Life Assurance.
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 These records were withdrawn by the depositor on 31 August 1990 and returned to the Manuscripts Section, as a gift, on 19 January 1996, along with the main archive of the Company, (except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 Life Assurance Society, including registers, notices, minutes, annual reports, financial accounts, valuation summaries, samples of policy forms, and papers relating to branches in Austria, Hungary, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, South Africa, and Spain.
Also papers of the Gresham Continental Life Assurance Society, including memorandum and articles of association, minute books and letter books.
Records arranged by MS number, assigned during cataloguing at the Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section.
