The collection is essential and fascinating viewing for all programme-makers interested in hip hop.

V&A Museum You Say You Want a Revolution? : Lisa Savage from Savage Archive had these kind words to say about our service...

Their archive had the perfect content I needed for the Rolling Stones Exhibition and now they have hit gold for another project I am working on for the V&A. They don’t stop when you do but are always on the look out for new material and then out of the blue an email hits your InBox, ‘hey, I’ve found this shot I thought you might need’. Serena and Jenny have a passion for archive and for their clients which very clearly shines through. They are, and I am sure will continue to be, one of my archive faves.
