Cultural collections description

Eastside Community Heritage’s oral history, film and photographic collection covers the history of one of London’s most diverse boroughs, and so almost everything in their collections is relevant to many of the cultural groups in London.

You can see a very detailed catalogue of all their holdings by going to www.hidden-histories.org.uk, clicking on “news and events” and choosing “new ECH catalogue”.

The description on this page describes holdings that highlight individual cultural groups.

Much of the material has been made into publications and videos. If you would like to see the archive itself, please make an appointment with Judith at office@ech.org.uk
