Administrative History	The Friends of the Tate Gallery was established in 1958 as a body which would raise funds for the purchase of works of art. In due course groups were formed within the Friends to appeal to particular sections of the membership: Young Friends in 1968, the Patrons of New Art in 1982 and the Patrons of British Art in 1986 (the latter two being limited to 200 members each). In 2001 the Friends were renamed Tate Members.
Custodial History	The records have either been deposited in the archives via the Director's Office or had previously been transferred to Gallery Records or its predecessors.
