GuideWelcome to the Town History Archive, where the past is kept safe for everyone. Let me show you the five areas.
GuideThe Reading Room is where most people start. At its computers you can search old newspapers on screen, going back two centuries.
GuideIn the Picture Store, with gloves provided, you may handle original photographs of the town as it once was.
GuideThe Sound Booth is a favourite. Pop on the headphones and you can listen to recorded interviews with elderly residents.
GuideOver in the Map Room, glass cases let you view old maps of the town, some hand-drawn long ago.
GuideAnd in the Family Corner, with a volunteer's help, you can trace your own family tree, which many find moving.
