" The Library Services of
Worcestershire".
Everyone knows that the main place to look for information on
family history information is the county record office. However, less well
known are the resources of local libraries. Sometimes they hold census data and
sometimes it is copies of local newspapers. Many also hold information specific
to their area, which is not available elsewhere. For example local privately
published books as well copies of specialised commercial local history books.
Some of the more modern books, recognising the number of people researching
their family tree, have surname lists. Also to be found are books of
photographic collections or historic postcards.
Bromsgrove BMSGH has arranged with Worcestershire Library Services a synopsis of
their Local Studies Collections
held at libraries in our area, so that more detailed searches may be performed.
