The world-famous South Kensington venue's collection boasts tens of thousands of items.
The Royal Albert Hall's archive has been saved from flooding and preserved in a £1m rescue operation.
The archive spans the venue's history since its inception in the 1850s and consists of tens of thousands of items."This famous building has been a crucible of debate, a place of cultural and social transformation, and a prism through which to see a changing Britain," he said. The archive had been stored in four different locations across the building, with the basement store repeatedly flooding and threatening to destroy some of the artefacts.The collection is now housed in a fireproof climate-controlled studio in the building with a new reading room, and is open to historians, researchers and the public by appointment.
Dr Gerald Macaura's vibrating Pulsoconn, which was shown at the venue in the 1910s, is also part of the archive.
