The research room is well equipped with computers, viewers, desks and reference books.
Volunteers are on hand to:
- Retrieve items from our archive
- Help you access any material relevant to your research
- Copy or print material for you
- Give you any advice and support you want.
Some material such as newspapers, parish registers and censuses are on microfilm. It may be necessary to book to make sure a machine is free when you visit.
A research service is available if you can’t visit in person, just contact us with your requirements and a volunteer will get back to you.
We have an interesting stock of books in 3 main categories:
- History and Topography of the Bromyard and District area as covered by the Society.
- General books on aspects of Herefordshire containing information relevant to Bromyard and books on adjacent towns such as Ledbury, Bromyard and Hereford.
- A section on background and reference books which include items invaluable to those undertaking both local and family history research.
We have an almost complete set of the Transactions of the Woolhope Field Club from 1852 to date. These are fully indexed and contain a wealth of historical, archaeological, and natural history material covering the whole of the County.
We also have a comprehensive collection of pamphlets advising on how to go about specific areas of research.
