Westminster’s collections are here for all to see, but may not be borrowed. They are for reference only. The Archives Centre houses extensive collections relating to Westminster past and present. The City of Westminster covers the heart of London, extending from Marylebone and Paddington in the north to Pimlico in the south, and from Hyde Park and Knightsbridge in the west to Covent Garden in the east. It includes Bayswater and Queen's Park, St John's Wood and Maida Vale, Belgravia and Mayfair, and St James's and Soho.

General Information
Cultural collections description
The City of Westminster Archives Centre holds a largely unique record which forms the most complete picture of Westminster's history and growth in existence. Holdings include books, newspapers, prints, ephemera, theatre programmes, parish registers and much more. You can get a much more complete list of the resources on their website (link below).
The website does not show holdings by cultural group, however a new publication "Sources for Black and Asian History At The City Of Westminster Archive" gives a fascinating illustrated guide. The book can be purchased for £10 from the Archives Centre. The book is not exhaustive - it is a work in progress. Some of the sources described are given detailed treatment, for example, the listing of events relating to Black and Asian people in pre-twentieth century Westminster parish registers is nearly complete; for other sources no more than pointers to their potential usefulness are given.
