The guild of needlemakers was incorporated by a charter granted in 1656. By the 19th century, the Company had dwindled and was revived by a group of enthusiasts in 1874.

The records of the Company were deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library in 1927 and they were catalogued in the same year. Additional deposits were made in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and were catalogued in 2008 and 2009 by a member of Guildhall Library staff. The Manuscripts Section merged with London Metropolitan Archives in 2008.
