About

Collecting Lewisham's Stories

Lewisham Heritage is responsible for the collection, preservation and making available the history and heritage for Lewisham Council and its communities.
While Lewisham Library is being refurbished our Heritage Reading Room is located at Catford Library.

There will be an exhibition of archive material in Meeting Room 2 and hourly tours of the Heritage Reading Room.

The exhibition will highlight the collections of Lewisham and its communities. It will encourage visitors to think about how their stories and memories might be preserved and collected.

The tour will bring visitors to the Heritage Reading Room, a space usually accessible by appointment only. This will allow visitors to see what is available and remove the mystery of what an archive is.
