House History Workshop

    10:00 am - 1:00 pm
    Level 2, The Hive

Would you like to learn how to research the history of your house? Or perhaps you are interested in another building?

Come and learn about what sources are available to research house histories in Worcestershire and how to find them. We will look at items in the library, on computer and microfilm, and original archived documents on level 2 of The Hive.

Get to know the different sources with some hand-chosen examples, and perhaps feel inspired to return and begin to research the history of your own house.

This is a course for beginners, we cannot offer specific advice or research on the day but can show you how to use our resources.
