If you're wanting to find out about your own family’s history or investigate past times in the place where you live, Inspire libraries would love to help you discover this.
We think of our Local Heritage Collections as community memory banks and actively develop them to reflect Nottinghamshire life. Everyone is welcome to explore the collections, built over many years to reflect the wide variety of local experience.We offer:
All Inspire libraries have some material relating to their own communities, but the 14 larger ones (listed below) have much more extensive collections. These contain some core material of countywide interest but the focus is on the immediate local area. Several libraries (see links below) feature specialised collections relating to themes of wider interest such as DH Lawrence, Lord Byron and the Mayflower Pilgrims.
Help is available from library staff, supported by a Heritage team, to explore the information and resources we hold. Please contact us via your local Inspire Library or the Ask Inspire service.
