Swiss at 60 is an oral history project celebrating 60 years of Swiss Cottage Library, conducted by Camden Libraries in collaboration with oral history specialists digital-works.  The project explores the Library’s history from the perspective of its workers as well as the library users. Oral history interviews were recorded for the project, and the full interviews have been given to Camden Archives. These interviews were also filmed and used with archive footage and images to create a documentary film. We will be showing the film, An Open Book (50 mins). Other arrangements for this event are still being worked on. 

Admission: Free to CHS members. Non-members welcome (£2 at the door).
