Hidden Histories

Eastside Community Heritage is one of the nation's leading community heritage organisations. Our mission is to uncover the hidden histories of East London - we persuade ordinary people that their stories are worth telling. Our Hidden Histories Archive contains over 4,000 digitalised oral histories and approximately 40,000 digital photographs from people who have often been side-lined by history - our archive preserves histories from working class communities, from the economically disadvantaged, from immigrant communities and from disabled people.
