Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday for the launch of Letters from Us, our interactive archive created by the people of Islington.

It was such a joy to welcome so many people into our pop-up living room in the middle of Highbury Fields. Across the afternoon, we shared stories of joy, protest, family, friendship, migration, belonging, and the small everyday moments that make up a place. We listened to forgotten bits of local history, discovered unexpected connections, and watched people of all ages add their own memories to the archive.

If you missed it, don't worry. Letters from Us is a growing, living archive, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

Visit our website to listen to beautiful stories from across Islington, explore the archive, and add your own memories, reflections and experiences: www.koro.org.uk/lettersfromus

Letters from Us was created by Glenda Cooper and Marie Klimis, with illustrations by Jess Sanders and programming by Suzanna Hurst, in partnership with Highbury Roundhouse, St Mary Magdalene Academy and Mildmay Community Centre, and supported by City St George's, University of London, and Islington Council.
