The home of
Black British History.
Our mission is to collect, preserve and celebrate the histories of people of African and Caribbean descent in the UK and to inspire and give strength to individuals, communities, and society.
Unveiling Black British History through Digital Timelines
Black history timelines are brought to you through a collaboration between Black Cultural Archives and Royal Holloway, University of London. The five-year partnership aims to make the teaching and learning of inclusive, shared histories available for everyone. Many of the documents and artifacts presented are from BCA’s unique archival collections, digitised to support access to a broader audience.
Black Cultural Archives is an independent, national registered charity.

“We need our own Archives where important acts and achievements of the past, which are now scattered or pushed into the margins of European history can be assembled; where facts now presented as negative, can be re-presented from our point of view, as positive factors in our liberation.”
— Len Garrison, Co-Founder of Black Cultural Archives
