The Metropolitan Police Museum is in Sidcup and holds archives, books, photographs, equipment, uniforms and other artefacts relating to the history of the Metropolitan Police since its inception in 1829.
If you have a police officer on your family tree the Museum has Police Orders (day-to-day updates) on joiners and leavers, promotions and dismissals and rewards and punishments.
The Curator and Archivist, Clare Smith, will explain how the museum collection can be used in your research.
Doors open 9.45am. The meeting / talk will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm.
The Talk venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.
No booking, just turn up.
The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.
