To mark International Women’s day, Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre have transferred their successful 2018 exhibition
“Suffragettes and other Feminists in Camden” to an online format. https://t.co/Ys72ylSSTl

@k9 Camden Local Studies and Archive Centre has collections of street scene photographs, in particular the set made by volunteers at The Millennium where every street in Camden
had at least one photograph. The scheme was run by Aidan Flood.

@Tetramesh @NW6Community @WELBooks @FoWHLNW6 @WHATNW6 @FordwychRA @MaygroveRoad @KeithMoffitt @CAforWH @WestHampPSA @SolentRoadNW6 @FlickRea @JonathanKester We’re sorry we could not reassure you earlier that your book was posted the day after you ordered it. We’re checking our website to discover why your messages did not send. Items sent to the EU are now often held up by that country but our team has contacted you directly to help.

@MarkGrayatMdx Try contacting the excellent Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre in Holborn. Even though it’s shut, archivists are still sometimes able to help people.

@FatanehHamisi @SouthHampstead So sorry that this one wasn’t filmed because we didn’t have copyright for a lot of the archive images. However our lovely speaker said he’d try to answer any questions from you about the history of the area and that he’d do the talk again in future for the local studies library
