Description: | Encompasses a variety of different resources: printed books, photographs, maps, newspapers, pamphlets, slides and material of use for family history. These resources relate particularly to the past, present and future life of this Borough and more generally to Surrey and Greater London (especially south of the Thames). We have especially strong collections of material relating to Croydon Airport and the River Wandle.
The Borough's Archives are kept separately from the Local Studies Collection and comprise primary source material relating almost exclusively to this Borough. The main exceptions to this rule are records of the Wallington (previously Croydon) Magistrates Court and a large collection of copies of Surrey parish registers. Again, material is held in a variety of different formats -- paper, parchment, magnetic tape and video. | Subjects: | Local history Genealogy | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 020 8770 4777 | Telephone: | 020 8770 4700 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:8032 | Go to resource |
