Hi,
I work opposite the Natural History Museum archive building in Kimber Road SW18.
They are throwing away old books into two huge skips in their yard which is
shared with the Access Storage company. I think it is utterly criminal to throw
books away and I wanted to publicise this as effectively as possible. Access
Storage is on the Kimber Road with the junction of Merton Road. At the junction
you will see the new facility being built, but if you go down Kimber Road to
what would be the rear, there is the old building which is the current storage
facility. The entrance has white painted steel gates that are open (but are
closed at 6pm), that serves both Access Storage and also the Natural History
Museum’s archive facility.
Please bear in mind that the skips may have been emptied by the time you go
there but apparently they are due to throw thousands of books more. Also be
aware that whilst the manger of Access Storage is happy to turn a blind eye if
you take any books from the skip, the NHM staff may not be if they are present.
Please rescue these books if you can, and spread the word to other who also
believe that throwing away old books, any books for that matter is inherently not right.
