Our Archives on Show events are a chance for us to show you the sheer range of material we hold at The London Archives.
In these sessions we will present a display of material for you to browse at your own pace, where staff will be on hand to answer questions. Whether you are new to archives and curious to see what we hold, or you are an experienced researcher that wants to learn more these relaxed events offer a chance for you to explore our collections by theme and format.
The term ‘ephemera’ covers a wide range of documents including leaflets, handbills, tickets, trade cards, programmes and playbills, posters, postcards, menus and napkins – items that were usually designed for a specific short-term purpose. London Metropolitan Archives holds a wealth of such material, including two specific collections – the Noble collection and the Begley collection - which will be introduced in this session. However, ephemera is often hidden in archive collections, and this display will aim to show you where to look to uncover these treasures. Visitors can book to visit at 11am or at 12 noon.
