London Eyes: Views from the city from Kingston University archives and special collections

Display

London Eyes is an exhibition looking at aspects of life in the capital through the collections in Kingston University archives. Originally created for London History Day, the exhibition will include items relating to London literature and theatre, and the University's place in the city. Guests will be able to view the exhibition plus extra items that we were not able to include in our display cases, with archives staff on hand to answer questions and provide further information on the fascinating objects included.

Kingston University archives has recently been awarded Archives Service Accreditation, a national standard that recognises excellence in archive services.
