About Archives



Group Archives acquire, preserve and make available for use all kinds of original and irreplaceable records relating to Prudential plc and its subsidiaries. We are responsible for the company's corporate memory.

Holdings


The archives illustrate the history of Prudential from its foundation in 1848 to the present day. Holdings include corporate, investment, product, publicity, regional and overseas records.

Staff records, although not comprehensive, are numerous and date from the 1870s.

Using the archives


The archive attracts a wide range of internal and external users. The archivists can provide information on almost any topic related to the company for use in publications, project work, reports, presentations and exhibitions.

Please note that we do not manage records relating to individual policyholders. However we are happy to redirect enquires relating to lapsed or unclaimed policies to the appropriate business areas.

Donations


The archives constantly evolve, and we regularly add records to the archive. Whilst we are only able to purchase material in exceptional circumstances, we are always grateful for donations and can reimburse postage expenses.

Please contact us if you would like to donate records to the archive.
