The Everton FC Heritage Society is a voluntary group researching and chronicling the rich history of Everton Football Club.
The Society was founded by Dr David France in 2008 to promote and preserve the heritage of our great club.
Since then, EFCHS has grown and comprises of those with expertise in the world of football journalism, publishing, authorship, memorablia, statistics, archive research, web design and management, graphic design, and much more.
Basically, the aims of the society are:
- To be the first point of reference for all enquiries from the Club and the general
public about Everton’s history
- To actively promote knowledge of the Club’s history
- To promote and support The Everton Collection

Make sure you pay a visit to see the Everton FC Heritage Society exhibitions and stalls upstairs in St Luke's on matchdays. There you will find an Alladin's cave of Everton related memorabilia, books, shirts, posters, badges, programmes, artefacts, the wonderful creations of ToffeeArt and much, much more. Former players are often present signing books or promoting causes such as Health Through Sport. An essential part of your matchday experience.

Meetings
|
Our monthly meetings have taken place in a number of locations centred at Goodison, such as the Captain's Table and even the Sky TV box. However we are fortunate now to meet in the inner sanctum - the EFC Director's Boardroom in the Royal Liver Building. Something we never get tired of! Furthermore, some of the corridors are adorned with memorabilia provided by Brendan Connolly (the Chairman of the Society) from his amazing collection. You can also meet Brendan on matchdays in St Luke's where he has his stall with fascinating displays and collectors items for sale.

Research and articles by members of EFCHS is prolific and covers a broad sweep of Everton's history and heritage.

Books by Members
[Note: these works have not been produced by the society, but by those who are past or present members, just to give an insight into the incredible store of knowledge and expertise that the Society can draw upon. In fact, this is just a selection, as some of the authors are quite prolific. David France has produced 18 books alone. The combined total from our authors is over 50 Everton related books - and more in the pipeline!]

ToffeeArt
| The imagery of Everton would be a lot more boring without the work of ToffeeArt's Tom Regan. His output consists of book design, leaflets (including the Remembrance booklet), posters, banners, and a host of Everton styled artefacts and gifts, Tom's creativity knows no bounds. Visit his website for much more, or meet him in person at his stall, upstairs at St Luke's on Matchdays.

| Steve Johnson is Everton Statto extraordinaire, author of the acclaimed ‘Everton: The Complete Record' and webmaster of Everton Results. Steve’s site provides a comprehensive record of the results of all competitive games played by Everton since their formation, together with details of player appearances and goals.

Film Archives
| Film archivist Crawford Miles has amassed an amazing collection of Everton related moving images, from short clips of goals to full gaames, many of which are extremely rare. His film edits are regularly to be seen in St Lukes on matchdays and he is often asked to provide montages for Everton related functions (such as the Gwladys Street's Hall of Fame night 2017, pictured right). Another valuable member of the society!

|
Grave Restorations and Rededications
| Another feature of the Society’s work is to conduct grave rededications and restorations for notable former players and club officials, such as Alex ‘Sandy’ Young, Will Cuff, George Harrison, Jeremiah Kelly and Alec Brady. Another is Andrew Hannah, captain of our first League Championship-winning team of 1891, as well the grave of Charlie Parry of that same side pictured here.
