GB 0074 CLC/097 1868-1873 Collection 3 production units. Pawnbroking Parliamentary Reform Association

The Pawnbroking Parliamentary Reform Association was established in Nottingham in 1868 by representatives of the pawnbroking trade from English and Scottish towns in order to draft and promote a parliamentary bill to amend the law regulating pawnbrokers. Its action resulted in the passing of the Pawnbrokers' Act of 1872, which regulated the amount of interest that pawnbrokers could charge, established guidelines and protected pawnbrokers who sold stolen items without knowledge of the theft.

The surviving archives of the association were deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library in 1987 together with the archives of the National Pawnbrokers' Association. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Pawnbroking Parliamentary Reform Association records comprising: minutes and reports, 1868-71; telegrams, 1872; and photograph album, 1873. They were catalogued by a member of Guildhall Library staff in 1987.
