The Deptford Ragged School Archive is a collection of 175 years worth of ‘stuff’ that tells the history of the Deptford Ragged School and the part it played in the community of Deptford. It includes documents, annual reports, minutes, plates, certificates, letters, photos, architectural plans, plaques and more. All kept, until recently, in a damp cupboard, for a time such as this.

At the beginning of 2019 a group of volunteers began to meet regularly to catalogue the collection and make a record of all the ‘stuff’ - that’s when we’re not completely distracted by the stories we’re finding!
