Everyone involved in the administration and day-to-day working of the Crystal Palace Foundation are volunteers and responses to research requests often take much of our own personal time and effort.

We have extensive knowledge and archives on the history of the Great Exhibition at Hyde Park and the Crystal Palace exhibition building at Sydenham but at present we have no on site research facilities.

If you require information on a particular aspect of Crystal Palace history please call us on 07889 338812 or email us at: crystalpalacefoundation@hotmail.com (preferably providing a contact telephone number for a speedier response) and we will do all we can to assist with your research.

If your research into the Crystal Palace can't be answered through our site search facility, we are happy to provide additional assistance. Please use the contact form below for your enquiries (fields marked * are required). To help with your query, image files in jpeg, png, gif, tiff, bmp plus PDF and MsWord formats may be attached (max file size 1MB each).

Please note that all persons involved in the Crystal Palace Foundation are volunteers and responses often take much of our own personal time and effort.
