Reference Library & Research Resources
We have a wealth of information in our Reference Library and research archives of folders containing documents we have compiled on a wide range of local history topics. With the help of our Museum Volunteers, we have moved our research resources and books from the Museum Store into a new purpose-built Reference Library and created a full list all of the documents which are available on request.
In order to access these folders, an appointment must be made in advance in order to ensure staff are available and on site. Contact us for more information.
