Hackney Archives holds a collection of 150,000 negatives captured between 1952 and 1979 by Ron Gibson’s photography studio in Hackney. The Gibson collection records the people of Hackney as they got married, worked, celebrated and mourned and offers a unique in

sight into life in Hackney and surrounding areas over a 27 year period. Over the next two years Hackney Archives will be digitising the collection so that images from the collection can be shared publicly, for example on Hackney Archives’ page. We understand that due to the nature of the collection there may be sensitivities about certain photographs being made publicly available. If you believe that an image on our page should not be made public please email us at [email protected] (please use the subject heading ‘Gibson’) with details of the image you are concerned about or telephone us on 020 8356 8925.
