The Henry Royce Memorial Foundation is a charity established to preserve and secure the archive material held by the motor division of Rolls-Royce Ltd.  

The collection includes photographs, memorabilia and artefacts from the life Henry Royce together with detailed records of all Rolls-Royce and most Bentley cars produced up to 2002.

In tune with Sir Henry’s own philosophy, it also works to encourage the work and development of apprentices and young engineers.
