ABOUT
British Culture Archive is a non-profit organisation and agency set up to document, highlight, and preserve the changes in British culture and society through documentary photography. Founded by Paul Wright, BCA was born from a genuine passion for photography and a mission to make world-class documentary photography accessible and engaging.
BCA online galleries, print collections, and touring exhibitions showcase and champion British documentary photography from post-war Britain to the present day.
BCA publishes and exhibits work globally from its select group of photographers, as well as unearthing and giving a major platform to photography that has been previously unseen or overlooked. The BCA collections are accessed and cited by leading educational institutions and creative industries worldwide. The collections contain socially and culturally important images, ranging from the 1960s mod scene, Northern Soul and punk, to Thatcher’s Britain, social housing, acid house, and more.
