Herefordshire History

If you're looking for newspapers, photographs, and other resources illustrating the history of Herefordshire look no further than this local history project run by Herefordshire Libraries.

The collection is an amazing miscellany. For Withington, a village where I have ancestry, I found images of a Home Guard 1940 logbook with name, age (birthdate), military experience and next of kin. 

The newspaper collection comprises:

Kington Reporter - 1914, Jan - Aug.
Ledbury Reporter - 1940, Jan - Dec; 2014, Jan - Dec.
Hereford Journal - 1914 - 1919, 2014.
Hereford Times - 1832 - 1835; 1844 - 1847; 1855 - 1858; 1865 - 1868; 1914 - 1919; 1939 - 1945; 1949 - 1959; 2014 - 2016.
Hereford Mercury - 1914 - 1919.
Kington Times - 1914 - 1919.
Ledbury Guardian - 1914 - 1919.
Leominster News - 1914 - 1922.
Ross Gazette - 1867 - 2007, 2011 - 2013.

Don't miss this if you have Herefordshire ancestry.
