The cost of maintaining the Archive at the Bodleian is borne entirely by the Conservative Party Archive Trust, an educational charity, which raises funds from private donors; no financial support is received from the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a>. </p><p>While the oldest papers in the Archive date back to 1867, sadly many records were lost during the wars, and a number of moves by <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Campaign_Headquarters" title="Conservative Campaign Headquarters">Conservative Central Office</a> led to the destruction of still more, particularly from the period before 1939. As a result, the Archive consists predominantly of post-Second World War material. More recent material is regularly transferred to the Archive from <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Campaign_Headquarters" title="Conservative Campaign Headquarters">Conservative Campaign Headquarters</a> (previously Conservative Central Office). </p><p><i>For students of the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a>'s past, the <b>Conservative Party Archive</b> is an essential source of reference.

It is a federation of constituency associations, bringing together the rank and file of the Party in a national organisation. Representatives of the constituencies meet at area and national level, and a system of advisory committees is used to convey grass roots opinion to the Party leadership. The Convention exists to express opinion and support and, as such, can exert a degree of influence on the Leader and over Party policy. It does not, however, possess any mandatory powers. The annual Party Conference is a Convention function. </p><p>The Conservative Party's provincial organisation is based on 26 "areas", mostly corresponding to two or three counties. This structure has been in place since the 1997 General Election. Prior to this date, the Party's structure was based on eleven larger Areas, such as North Western or Southern, and it is this structure which is reflected in the files held in the Conservative Party Archive. </p><p>The National Union organisation within each area was headed by the Area Council, comprising MPs, candidates, area officials, representatives from each constituency and constituency agents. The Area Council generally met once a year, and most area business was conducted by the Area Advisory Committee which complemented those at national level and co-ordinated similar advisory committees in individual constituencies. In some areas, in addition to the area structure, there also existed a number of County Divisions or Federations, again with their own committees. Papers from individual constituency associations are not held in Conservative Party Archive but have been retained by association offices or transferred to local libraries and record offices. </p> <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/cpa/nua/nua.html">National Union records held in the Conservative Party Archive</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/cpa/are/are.html">Area Office records held in the Conservative Party Archive</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.conservatives.com">Locate local constituency associations</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon">contact details for local libraries and county record offices</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Conservative_Central_Office,_1936–present"><span id="Conservative_Central_Office.2C_1936.E2.80.93present"></span>Conservative Central Office, 1936–present</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Conservative_Party_Archive&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Conservative Central Office, 1936–present"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Conservative_Campaign_Headquarters" title="Conservative Campaign Headquarters">Conservative Central Office</a>, established in 1870, constitutes the main professional and organisational element of the Party.
