The Everton FC Heritage Society was founded by Dr David France OBE in 2008 to;

Promote and preserve the heritage of our great football club. To be the first point of reference for all enquiries about Everton’s history.

To promote and provide support for The Everton Collection Trust.

This website reflects the broad work carried out by members of the Society.

Visitors are most welcome to come along to St Luke's Church (upstairs), next to Goodison Park, on matchdays, to view the exhibitions, visit the stalls and meet members.
