Heritage centre


Black Cultural Archives has for over 25 years played a unique role in London's cultural landscape. In 2011 we will open the UK's first Black heritage centre.

This capital project is a major development for the heritage sector in the UK, as the new home of the Black Cultural Archives will be the first national institution dedicated to commemorating and celebrating the experiences of people of African and African-Caribbean descent in Britain. The new building will enable the public to access our permanent and growing archive collection and will provide a platform to explore the histories and cultures, familiar and unfamiliar, of Black people in the UK. 

The project is generously funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, London Development Agency and the London Borough of Lambeth, who have gifted the building to BCA.
