Histoire archivistique

GB 0074 LMA/4469 2005 Collection 10.59 linear metres Various.

On July 7th 2005 a series of co-ordinated terrorist attacks hit London. Suicide bombers detonated devices on tube trains at Aldgate, Edgware Road, between Kings Cross and Russell Square and on the Number 30 bus at Tavistock Square. 52 people were killed, and hundreds more injured.

These records were collected by the Mayor of London and Greater London Authority (GLA) in the months following July 2005 and were transferred to LMA on various occasions from October 2005 to July 2006.

This collection contains memorials to the victims of the terrorist attacks in London on July 7th 2005. This includes Books of Condolence along with Ephemera (cards, flowers and objects) left at the memorial gardens which were established at stations and public gardens in the days following the attacks as a focal point for public mourning.

These condolences have been left by families, individuals, businesses and organisations from all around the world in a variety of languages. Some are personal testaments to those injured, killed or missing, and others more general reactions to the event or expressions of religious belief. Where victims of the attacks are specifically addressed, their names have been recorded where possible. A selection of the names of those leaving messages have also been noted.

This collection will be of interest not only to those studying the events of the War on Terror and its effects on London, but also to those interested in public demonstrations of grief and those examining the role of the media in twenty-first century Britain.

This collection has been arranged as follows: LMA/4469/A - BOOKS OF CONDOLENCE; LMA/4469/B - EPHEMERA LEFT AT MEMORIAL GARDENS.

These records are available for public inspection although records containing personal information may be subject to access restrictions.
