Historia biográfica
The Hackney Carriages Proprietors Benevolent Fund (later the Hackney Carriage Proprietors' Provident Institution) was founded on 21st April 1873 at the Royal Repository, Barbican. As a result of working with carriages which had no coverings for drivers, Hackney Carriage Proprietors were liable to illness and subsequent financial problems. The Benevolent Fund intended to try and alleviate this distress. Proprietors who joined the Fund paid annual subscriptions and in return might receive annuities and could participate in excursions, theatre benefits and dinners. The Fund also provided financial support for members' widows and children.

These records were purchased by the GLRO in July 1995.
Minutes and accounts of the Hackney Carriages Proprietors Benevolent Fund, later the Hackney Carriage Proprietors' Provident Institution. The minute books give details of the general administration of the Fund. They include descriptions of individual cases of hardship.
The Hackney Carriages Proprietors Benevolent Fund appears, as its name suggests, to have been open to proprietors of hackney carriages only rather than to all hackney carriage drivers. Clearly, however, many proprietors of only a few hackney carriages would also have been engaged in driving their own vehicles.
Among the items recorded in the minute books of the Fund can be found details of ordinary members including brief professional details of individuals wishing to join the Fund, names of members or dependants to whom regular payments were made, and brief reports on the circumstances of member or dependants on their first application for a grant. There are also brief notices of the deaths of members.
The biggest draw-back of these minute books is that they are not indexed and therefore speculative searches are likely to take a long time.
