Fawley Historians was formed in 1958 as Fawley Local History Group,
and since then has held regular monthly meetings, (excluding August
and December). A wide variety of subject matter has been presented to
members and guests since that first meeting, covering items of historical
interest of a local and often national perspective, and we try to include
presentations on maritime, aviation, and railway subjects in our annual
programme.
We have an extensive collection of local photographs, documents and
artefacts covering the area and dating from the 19th century. Many items
have been donated, and some are on loan, but all are carefully catalogued,
and are available for reference use by students, researchers and private
individuals.
We are often asked to assist in research for family details, and to
provide displays or individual photographs for a wide range of presentations,
and a number of our photographs have been used in books, and television
broadcasts. We
do not make a charge for our service, but would appreciate the consideration
of reproduction costs and postage where applicable.
New members and visitors are always welcome. Fawley
Historians meet on the FOURTH Friday of every month at Jubilee Hall,
Fawley. Chairman: Colin van Geffen - contact Colin on 023 8089 7793.
