The research room is well equipped with computers, viewers, desks and reference books.
Volunteers are available to:
- Help you find material relevant to your research
- Retrieve items from our archive
- Copy or print material for you

Some materials such as newspapers, parish registers and censuses are on microfilm – you might want to book your visit to make sure we can help you with these when you arrive.
A Research Service is available if you can’t visit in person, just email your requirements to info@bromyardhistorysociety.org.uk and a volunteer will get back to you.
