This week the Society’s ‘Treasures Tuesday’ focuses on old photographs.

Many of the collections have a plethora of fascinating photographs which give real insight as to what life would have been like for our ancestors. Click here to find out more.

For our second week of ‘Treasures Tuesday’s’ the spotlight is on Marriage Settlements.

Marriage Settlements outline a form of pre nuptial agreement between the two families. These documents shed light on the practice of marriage in the mid 18^th century.
