Here you can search BCA's catalogue of over 2000 records which span five centuries and reflects the history of the African diaspora and the presence of Black people in Britain. These include personal papers, organisational records, ephemera, photographs and periodicals. This catalogue only covers BCA's archive collection; catalogues of our library and museum material will be available at a later date.

PLEASE NOTE: Black Cultural Archives includes among its collections the historical evidence of racism in Britain and elsewhere. As a result, this catalogue contains terms which are racially offensive.
