In your local library or museum you will find a
wealth of material including books and pamphlets, old photographs, prints,
newspaper cuttings, census returns, maps, trade and street directories. All
libraries have computers linked to the internet, which can be used to explore
local resources.
If you want original documents a visit to Hampshire
Record Office in Winchester is necessary. The collections tell the story of
Hampshire and its people from the early Middle Ages to the present. They
include minute books, letters, diaries, accounts, title deeds, maps, rints and
drawings, film, audio tape and digital files.

project, writing an academic dissertation or simply if you are interested in
your local area.
