Researches and Resources in Kineton Local History
Warwickshire Local History Society (WLHS)’s next evening talk will be on Tuesday 17th February at 7.30pm at Aylesford Primary School in Warwick.
Local history research relies on the survival and accessibility of historic material, from texts and photographs to increasingly important audio-visual records, alongside evidence gathered through local fieldwork. While record offices preserve vital collections, the detail of everyday community life is often found in local ephemera beyond the scope of county archives.
For 40 years, members of Kineton and District Local History Group have collected such material relating to the village and its surroundings, and only recently secured a permanent home for it. In this illustrated talk, Colin Such (K&DLHG Archivist) and David Freke (former K&DLHG Chair) explore the challenges and opportunities of preserving community-based historical resources.
The talk will start at 7.30 pm with tea and coffee served from 7pm.
There is no need to book. Non members are welcome and attendance is free, or we welcome donations.
