INQUEST X Bishopsgate: Justice in the Archive

Explore justice at Bishopsgate Institute with a free afternoon run by INQUEST. Started by families in 1981, INQUEST is the only charity providing expertise on state related deaths in the UK. To mark our 40th anniversary, INQUEST is depositing its archive at the Bishopsgate Institute. An archive in progress, come and see what’s already part of Bishopsgate’s collection, from posters and campaign flyers to abolitionist magazines and press cuttings.
