Local History Collection
Bidford & District History Society’s Research Group and Bidford Community Library are collaborating on a new project to create a District Archive at the library. Documentary items have been catalogued and are stored in the Archive. The Research Group has also digitised a large amount of material to view on-line which is also available to access through the same facility.
Documentary records stretch as far back as 1640 however the majority cover the period 1850 to 1980. You can view the list of materials in the Archive by clicking on https://www.bidfordhistory.org.uk/the-bidford-archive/
Members of the public can explore the wide variety of material already on hand, by appointment through the library.
