About the catalogue:

This catalogue includes details of archive, image and museum collections held as Special Collections at Goldsmiths. These include the official archive of Goldsmiths and a wide range records and collections deposited by organisations and private individuals. There is a description of each collection and some collections such as the LIFT Living Archive, the Slide collection of the Women’s Art Library/Make, the Daphne Oram Archive and the Constance Howard Resource and Research Centre for Textiles materials collection are catalogued in detail.

In addition, the catalogue includes selected images of slides, photographs, posters and objects drawn from our collections.

Please remember, however, that the catalogue is very much a work in progress and if you do not find what you are looking for, it does not mean that we don’t have relevant material. For further details of our holdings please contact us.

The library book catalogue is separate from the archives catalogue and contains details of the majority of the books and pamphlets held in the collection. Use the ‘Other categories’ search to identify material from individual collections.

Our archives are also listed on the AIM25 web-site, our special collections are also listed on the MASC25 web-site. Subject guides are available from the Special Collections web pages.

The LIFT Living Archive is supported by The National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund
