Cultural Archives is currently shaping its plans
to create a National Black Heritage Centre in London.
For many years BCA has been seeking a permanent
home for its unique archive collection. Our vision
for establishing a living heritage monument to document
the black presence in the UK is now being realised.
In 2005, with the
assistance of Lambeth Neigh-ourhood Renewal Scheme,
the BCA delivered a feasibility study to Lambeth
Council for the relo-cation of the BCA and its archive
collection to Raleigh Hall in central Brixton.
A derelict listed building, Raleigh Hall is situated
next to Windrush Square (named to commeorate the
arrival of West Indian migrants on the Empire Windrush
in 1948, many of whom settled in the local area),
opposite Lambeth Town Hall.
Plans for the conversion of Raleigh Hall include
an exhibition space, interactive educational zones,
seminar and training facilities, a research centre,
staff offices and specialist rooms to house the
Archives. Support our vision for Raleigh Hall in
2010 by engaging with our activities and our fundraising
campaign. For more information about the exciting
times ahead at the BCA, email us at info@bcaheritage.org.uk |
