Lewisham Archives Catalogue 1997 – 2002 This catalogue was created by the Local History and Archives Centre [LHAC] staff and is a catalogue of the Archives material held at the Local History and Archives Centre. It is an incomplete list of the catalogue, which is being added to constantly, this document will change as new material is created, so please check back to see new additions. For additional listing about 25% more of the catalogue [which will be added to this document in the future] see the A2A website at www.a2a.org.uk. To search the catalogue use the search function in the PDF viewer. Please note this list is of archival material, and access to this material is different from Local History Library material. This is because the items are unique and need to be preserved. If you require access to this material please contact the LHAC and arrange an appointment, quoting the reference numbers of the items you require. We cannot produce whole collections or large amounts of material without prior appointment. Only a member of the Archives staff can produce archives; please check the availability of this material and that a member of Archives staff is available before visiting. On some late nights, staff breaks, lunchtimes and Saturday it may not be possible to produce archival material because no Archives staff are available, so contact LHAC before visiting. Unfit for Production If an item is marked ‘Unfit for Production’ this means it is fragile or damaged and it cannot be produced. But LHAC staff may be able to access the document and extract the information, or a copy of the document may exist. Please contact LHAC and see how we can help you access the material. This may not be possible if the material is very badly damaged and no copy exists. Restricted access Some collections are marked ‘restricted access; contact the LHAC’. These are collections that are not fully listed. We will try and provide access, but extra security measures will apply and they may require time to prepare. Time is needed to assess and make the material available and a member of Archives staff will advise you as to time this will take. Large collections may be too large to produce but a member of staff may be able to check the material for you and provide information. These listed items are to help you find useful information and are prioritised for full cataloguing by LHAC staff but this is an ongoing process. These items cannot be produced without prior appointment and require notice for staff to check the material. Contact the LHAC before visiting.
