In September 2018 we held the ST40 Party; a preview of the results of our Heritage Lottery Funded project. 

Great fun was had by guests who explored our archive through reading the history 'book-that-is-not-a-book', listened/watched a selection of 40 oral histories and made 'Moving Portraits' using costumes from our archive!

You can visit our physical archive at the V&A and explore our online archive by visiting the ST40 page.
