Local Studies and Archives news and upcoming events

Forty Years On Project

Based around our Peterborough Development Corporation Archive, the Forty Years On Project will capture the modern history of Peterborough and present it back to the communities that have taken part.  A team of volunteers will work with original archive documents and be involved in oral history and theatre based activities to bring the City’s contemporary history to life.  For more information visit the Local Studies and Archives News page .

Family History Courses

We are running our popular 'Family History: Basics' and 'Family History: Next Steps' courses in the Autumn.  For more information, visit the Events and Activities page.
