Peterborough Local History Society

Peterborough Local History Society was formed in 1991 by a group of individuals who believed that the city needed an association where people could come together to share and enjoy the history of this area. Since then, we have grown to a Society with around 80 members who meet monthly. Some of our members are researchers, delving into specific avenues of history; some are authors of local books; whilst the majority just want to come along and learn from our various speakers.

Since our formation, we have donated several thousand pounds to local charities, raised by public presentations given by the Society.
