Celebrating 50 years of preservation and access
This year we’re celebrating 50 years since the opening of Churchill Archives Centre.
Purpose-built to house the papers of Winston Churchill and his contemporaries, we now hold the personal papers of over 570 leading political, scientific, military, and literary figures. For decades, their collections have been consulted by researchers all over the world, to broaden and enrich our understanding of the history of modern Britain today.
Throughout the year, we’ll be inviting our researchers, archivists, conservators, volunteers, and depositors to share their stories from the archives, below, so check back on this page to learn more about our history and impact.
Would you like to share your experiences or memories of Churchill Archives Centre? If so, let us know.
