This article offers an introduction to the contents of the Volunteering England archive housed at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The archive documents 40 years of volunteering history in the UK from the Aves Commission (1966–1969) to the Commission on the Future of Volunteering (2008). Volunteering England is the national development agency for volunteering and was created from a merger of three organisations in 2004: the Consortium on Opportunities for Volunteering, the National Centre for Volunteering and Volunteer Development England. A fourth organisation, Student Volunteering England, merged with Volunteering England in 2007. The archive, consisting of publications, reports and correspondence inherited from these mergers, offers unique insight into the development of volunteering in the UK and particularly into the relationship between government and the voluntary sector, the professionalisation of volunteering and developments in volunteering infrastructure
