Who we are
Eastside Community Heritage’s mission is to uncover the histories of people which would otherwise permanently be hidden from history; from working class communities, from the economically disadvantaged, from immigrant communities and from disabled people. It is these stories that ECH has sought, discovered, recorded, exhibited and published, highlighting their historical significance, and opened up heritage to new audiences. Today, our Hidden-Histories Archive contains over four thousand digitalized oral histories of Londoners and approximately 40,000 digital photographs.
Our Volunteering
Volunteers are brilliant support to us here at ECH. From recording podcasts to helping at remanence events, we’re always looking for more helping hands for our projects.
