In 2009, the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant to Gasworks, Lambeth Archives and the Remembering Olive Collective to make Olive Morris’ memory public. The Your Heritage grant allowed the training in cataloguing, archiving and oral history skills of ROC members, as well as the creation of the Olive Morris Collection, hosted by Lambeth Archives and accessible to the public since October 2009. The grant further permitted the publication of the book Do you remember Olive Morris?
