Our Historical Collection contains various documents. Most were published directly by the Gallery and represent its activity, but some are loosely related and have a wider historical importance. The former is the Gallery’s Catalogues and Annual Reports. The latter includes official letters sent to the Gallery, other galleries’ catalogues, various societies’ and institutions’ regulations, and advertisements.
The Collection is organized chronologically. The links are posted for documents published earlier on the Internet Archive, allowing readers to use the online reading software and/or download texts in different formats. The documents scanned recently by the Whitechapel Gallery archive are posted directly in the PDF and are downloadable only.
