I’ve been volunteering with the Archive team at the Kings Theatre since May and thought I would share a little bit about what I’ve been up to!

My main project has been researching more about this large autograph book from the old Hippodrome Theatre, which was unfortunately destroyed in the Blitz. I have been digitilising the pages, starting a record of performances for the Hippodrome, and researching into each individual performer to find their connection to Portsmouth.

Being able to help rediscover these performers from the 1920s/30s has been such a privilege and I will be sharing some of my research soon!

I am creating a community archive for Portsmouth, focusing on its social history.

Its intention is to preserve different aspects of Portsmouth’s heritage- mainly those that are overlooked.

The long term goal is to create exhibitions for Portsmouth, solely using the material of the community archive.

If you would like to help and be a part of the project, please email me at: [email protected]

Things to send:
- Photographs (if a scan, ideally 300dpi), potentially with info on location, date, who is in the photo, story behind photo, who took the photo etc
- Illustrations/artworks of Portsmouth by Portsmouth artists
- Stories of Portsmouth

Great to be a part of the installation of the Standing with Giants exhibition for the Falklands War at Fort Nelson today! It was my first volunteering event as being a Royal Armouries Volunteer- it was a great experience!
