Wirral Archives Service News and Events

Current Exhibitions

- Wirral and the Titanic
This exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the disaster and looks at Wirral’s connection to the ship and specifically the local residents who were on board.

- History of Sport in Wirral
As 2012 looks set to be a summer of sport with the Olympics in London and the Euro 2012 football tournament, this smaller exhibition will look at Wirral’s sporting past.

New Research Service

Wirral Archives has established a Research Service for enquirers who cannot visit in person. The Service can pursue any family or local history research into the archives or library books held by Wirral Archives. The charge is £20 per hour, up to a maximum of five hours. You can find further details about this under the Wirral Archives Research Service page.

Laptops and Digital Cameras

It is now possible to plug in laptops and digital cameras in the Search Room – they just need to be used with one of our new circuit breakers (i.e. RCDs, or Residual Current Devices). Just ask at the desk for one.

Events

Wirral Archive Service regularly hosts or attends events which you may be interested in. All events will be listed in the What's on section of this website.

Wirral Archives Service also runs a free monthly Saturday morning workshop aimed at everyone from schoolchildren to family and local history groups. The sessions will be brought to life with original documents and cover topics including family history, the history of Wirral, schools and education, and Wirral at war.
