Become a Friend of Hypatia: you would support the Trust and its aims, and help to raise interest and funds for our projects, local, national and international. You will be kept fully informed of the Trust's progress through newsletters and meetings. Click here for a membership form.

You can become a Friend through any, or all, of the following ways:

  • Through a one-time subscription of £20.00 (U.S.A.$30). Through a one-time subscription of £20.00 (U.S.A.$30). By joining our mailing list, you will receive notices and occasional newsletters (though these will be at minimum level, to keep our administrative overheads down; postage is becoming prohibitive!)

  • Gifts of books and archives. By sending us relevant material, by or about women, from your own collection, or bequeathing it to us, to continue the development of the library and its collections being deposited internationally.

  • Financial donations. Any donation is welcome. Those of £100.00 (U.S.A.$150) or over entitle you to join the Patrons Group, called HYPATIA'S HUNDREDS. The initial founding period (1997-2000) has come to an end. A new category of Patron, also called Hypatia's Hundreds, is open for subscribers. Being a Patron also entitles you to receive a free copy of each publication coming from Hypatia Publications in that period.

  • Bequests and legacies. You could consider leaving a residual legacy in your will toward the maintenance and development of the Hypatia Libraries and its outreach activities in support of women's contributions to society and culture. This is a tax efficient way of using some of that wealth that would otherwise disappear at death.

    Your support in this way will entitle you to membership of The Hypatia Trust, that can be renewed by gift (of relevant books or papers) or involvement with any of our ongoing projects. This website will be updated regularly with our latest news. Because we are a 'Fellowship' of equals, and administration is kept to an absolute minimum, we will not be chasing you for annual re-subscription. If you wish to donate by using a direct debit we will be very grateful for your support. Otherwise, be involved with our work as much as you like.

If you would like more information on the Hypatia Trust and/or details of how you can become a Friend of Hypatia e-mail us with your details so that we can contact you.

Alternatively you can click here for a membership form which you can fill in and mail to us.

We welcome your visit to our home at Trevelyan House, Penzance, Cornwall, UK.
