British Culture Archive

The British Culture Archive is a non-profit organisation and platform for British documentary photography based in Manchester. Its website, community workshops and exhibitions show 20th-century working class history and popular culture. It has exhibited in London, Manchester and Berlin. Its People's Archive offshoot crowdsources images of everyday life in Britain from the 1930s to 2000.
Details.
The British Culture Archive was founded by Paul Wright in 2017 as a website. It was established to document and highlight the changes in 20th-century British culture and society through social and documentary photography. Its focus is on documenting everyday life, in particular working class history and British counterculture and fashions of the 20th century.
The British Culture Archive encompasses the work of established photographers, such as Tish Murtha, Kevin Cummins and Peter Mitchell, and that of others whose work documents social change in British society but has not been widely seen. An example of the latter is Heidi Alexander's photographs of Stockport.
The People's Archive.
The British Culture Archive crowdfunded its People's Archive offshoot. This was established in 2017 for crowdsourced images of everyday life in Britain from the 1930s to 2000 and the rapid rise of smartphones and social media. The British Culture Archive intends to house this archive alongside exhibitions in its permanent space, set to open in 2021.
