The aim of the Berkhamsted Local History & Museum Society is to encourage the study and appreciation of local history, genealogy and other subjects of historical interest. 

Whilst members are under no obligation actively to pursue local history research, every encouragement will be given to those who wish to do so. There are many subjects which could be studied. Courses in Local History are available at Oxford and Cambridge.

Why not come along to our Society meetings? From September to March, they take place at 8pm in the Town Hall. Check out our Programme for details of talks.

Take a look at our popular Facebook page which features news stories coupled with photos from our collection.
