Local Studies Area
The Local Studies Library is open whenever the Museum is open. You are welcome to drop in, but we recommend making an appointment, particularly if you would like to use the microfiche or see any original maps.
Please Note : The Study Room and microfiche will not be available for private research on Saturday 15th October. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Collections available include:
- Photographs of Rutland towns and villages
- Maps of Rutland (our oldest maps are only available by appointment)
- Microfiche of births, deaths and marriages in Rutland (not all years are available)
- The Jack Hart postcard collection. (by appointment only)
