Who we are

We are an independent charitable trust which manages the Rochdale Pioneers Museum and National Co-operative Archive in Manchester.

Our history

The Co-operative Heritage Trust was formed in 2007 to bring the Museum and Archive service together for the benefit of heritage audiences.

What we do

Our museum and archive services are managed together but we have different roles. Both services exist to preserve historic assets and we use them to help people learn.

Donate what you can afford to help us run our Pioneer Pantry food sharing scheme for local people in Rochdale.
