The aims of the Arnside Archive Group are
-
-
To promote & encourage interest in and research into the local history of the Arnside area
-
To provide information & exhibitions for the benefit of the local community and visitors alike.
-
To record customs and traditions of the Arnside area and the impact of change throughout history.
-
To allow local people to donate memorabilia and documents relating to Arnside for preservation.

We put on displays and workshops about specific topics throughout the year and carry out oral history interviews. Recent projects and events have included a history of transport, WW1 in Arnside; tourism in Arnside, the history of schools in Arnside, Shops and Hotels, Houses in Arnside and the Maritime Heritage of Arnside.
We hold weekly workshops where new members can be trained to participate in archive activities, such as cataloguing and preparing exhibition materials and researching particular topics of interest.
Currently the workshops are held at 10-12pm on Wednesdays
We welcome new members.
