About this project
This site will allow you to search for images relating to London’s Olympic past – the 1908 and 1948 games hosted by the capital, athletes from London who have competed in the Olympics and London’s sporting heritage.
25 archive repositories from London and the South East of England have contributed digitised images to this site from their collections. The images show photographs, newspaper articles, minutes, reports and other archival material created or collected by organisations or individuals. A list of repositories which have contributed to the project can be found on the Contributors page.
The Winning Endeavours project is a collaboration between Archives for London Ltd, London Metropolitan Archives and the British Library, as a contribution towards the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. The project has been funded by the partners and by a grant courtesy of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
