Story

Formerly Grange Museum of Community History, Brent Museum is now based in The Library at Willesden Green. The museum collection consists of thousands of objects relating to the Brent in the past and in the present.

Brent Archives hold collections related to the London Borough of Brent and its residents and can help with many local history enquiries.

The Archive Searchroom is open at the following times:

Tuesdays and Wednesdays: 9am - 5pm
Thursdays: 1pm-8pm
Saturdays: 10am-5pm (closed for lunch from 1-2pm)

We hold the records of Brent Council and its predecessors, historical maps and street directories, electoral registers, school records, and an extensive collection of old photographs and postcards.

Our local history collections include a large reference collection, and local newspapers dating back to 1870. We also collect the records of local groups and organisations; if you have records you would be interested in donating, please contact us.
