Local History Centres
There are seven Local History Centres in Surrey libraries. Each provides a collection of research materials relating to the surrounding area.
You can use the resources of the local history centres at any time that these libraries are open. Better still, visit when enthusiastic volunteers with local knowledge are there to help you use the resources and equipment.
