Pioneers of creative placemaking in Milton Keynes since the 1970s

Living Archive’s creative community projects record, archive and celebrate the unique history and heritage of Milton Keynes. Conceived as an antidote to the assertion that ‘new towns have no history’, and nurtured by the belief that ‘everybody has a story to tell’, our work collects, preserves and shares the stories of residents’ lives, building a sense of place and using old memories to create new ones and bring communities together.
