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
