Lives in the ledgers: gaining new insights through our latest project

Through our current project, 'Bringing the Collections Closer at the Royal London Hospital', we are working with patients and local residents who are joining us as Community Curators to select items from the historic collections of the Royal London Hospital for new interactive digital heritage displays in the hospital spaces. In bringing new people and new perspectives into the archives, we are looking again at previously under-used material from the collections and finding fascinating insights into the story of the hospital, and of London itself.
