London Metropolitan Archives
London Metropolitan Archives hosted an exhibition, Unforgotten Lives, which focused on Londoners of African, Caribbean, Asian and Indigenous heritage between 1560 and 1860. The exhibition served as an important journey for the service as they engaged new audiences and developed their own understanding of the collections.

Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust
Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust worked with Peace of Cake, a community organisation and the University of Greenwich to explore and display an 18th century Ottoman gravestone that had been in their collection for years. Images, records and community engagement helped to enrich an untold story of the stone which otherwise may still have remained unknown.
