Black British History at the London Metropolitan Archives: The Huntley Collection

by

In 2005, the pioneering black publishers and activists Jessica and Eric Huntley deposited their personal archives to the London Metropolitan Archives, providing the institution with its first major collection from London’s African-Caribbean community and covering fifty years of Black British history.

Read more about the Huntleys and the Friends of the Huntley Archives at LMA (FHALMA) on the collection’s dedicated website. The archives have recently been used as the basis for an art exhibition at London’s Guildhall Art Gallery: ‘No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action, 1960-1990‘, which is open to the public from 10 July 2015 – 24 January 2016.
