About the North Kensington Social Justice Archive

The community initiative to create these archives is being supported by the RBKC Libraries and Archives Service. A team led by UCL Consultants has been appointed to progress with the Discovery Phase.

The Discovery Phase is carrying out the following work:

• Clarify the scope of the project with the community and confirm the proposed use of the space in North Kensington Library; 
• Explore options to involve external partners or specialist organisations in the development of the archive collection; 
• Work with The National Archives to establish relationships and connections with potential partners; Explore potential alternative options to who would own the collection being created. 
• UCL Consultants will work with members of the local community, specialists in community archiving, and 'Decolonising The Archive', to offer the following opportunities to participate: Workshop and engagement events and Participation survey https://linktr.ee/northkensingtonarchive
