London Museum

The Museum's moving image items are integrated into a number of other collection groups including moving image material related to the Museum's working history collections which record workplaces and work practices that have since disappeared e.g. Whitefriars glass, Marshall & Snelgrove department store, Richard Oliver, London’s last traditional watchmaker and George Payne & co., London’s last tea blender & packer. The Museum also holds ‘video-histories’, life story interviews with individual Londoners. This part of the collection has a strong bias towards capturing London’s cultural diversity. Moving image material is also held in their art collections, for example a piece by artist Susan Hillier; and their archaeology collections, such as video records of archaeological excavations in London since the 1980s. There is also a small group of documentary films from the 1960s by Peter Davis.
