The Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to touch the lives of East London's communities and transform the culture of the borough. Our community heritage project is about capturing the many voices of East London's hugely diverse communities by working with community groups, local artists and individuals to produce photographic, digital media, written, and audio based records of the changes and people's responses to them.
Mapping the Change is a Heritage Lottery funded project. Hackney Museum and Hackney Archives are working in partnership with Vestry House Museum, Waltham Forest and Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives.
The Mapping the Change images used in Historypin are just a sample of the thousands of images available at Hackney Archives. We also provide a comprehensive service for digitising images and, subject to copyright restrictions, for producing prints of the images in our collections. For more information please go to http://apps.hackney.gov.uk/servapps/historicimages/default.asp
Hackney Archives cares for the archives and local studies collections of the London Borough of Hackney and makes them available to the public for research during our regular opening hours, which you can find on our website at http://www.hackney.gov.uk/ca-archives-visiting.
Find teaching resource packs for your local area, to complement these images, on our Mapping the Change project page (under Mapping the Change events): http://www.hackney.gov.uk/mapping-the-change.htm
