International Heritage Centre
The International Heritage Centre tells the story of The Salvation Army from its origins in the 1860s to the present, both in the UK and internationally.
The Heritage Centre comprises two museums, one in London and one in Nottingham, at the birthplace of William Booth. Our London site also houses our reference library and archive.
