Established in 1998, Nostalgia Central is a comprehensive guide through five decades of music, movies, television, pop culture and social history. 

You can use this website like a travel guide, a library, or - if you want to do yourself some permanent damage - it can be read end-to-end like a long, bizarre story. The site currently has over 20, 000 pages (so make yourself a cup of coffee if you plan to read it from start to end!).

Most families own a box or a scrapbook full of tokens and mementoes of their lives. Every object unlocks an attic in the mind, a storehouse of reminiscence. 

Nostalgia Central is a scrapbook providing a trip from the Rockin Fifties via the Swinging Sixties, the Mirror-balled Seventies and the Day-Glo Eighties to the Grunge-filled Nineties.

Nostalgia Central is full of photographs & images, incidents & anecdotes, facts & figures, which will strike a light in the memory of anyone who lived through these decades, evoking all kinds of half-forgotten experiences and memories. 

The past - it has been said - is another country. If so, it is a place in which all of us have travelled. We remember its customs. We recognise its highways. We all know people there . . .

If the past is another country, then each of us is a passport-carrying citizen of that land.

It was Homer (Simpson) who said "Every time you learn something new it pushes something old out of your brain".

If that is true, where does it leave our nostalgic memories? Worry no longer, because that is why Nostalgia Central is here - We remember for you!

Due to the nature of this site, we update and add to it constantly, so please check back regularly.
