Description: | The Local Studies Centre is situated on the first floor of the City Library and Arts Centre and is dedicated to the collection of local information, including local and family history.
Its holdings cover the old County of Durham, i.e., the land between the Tyne and the Tees, with particular emphasis on Sunderland including the whole of the City, that is Hetton, Ryhope, etc. The collection also contains material on the old County Durham and material of regional significance.
It contains over 10,000 books as well as other printed material, such as journals, maps, photographs, newspapers and local records, Trade Directories, Census Data, Electoral Registers and Local Heritage Fact Sheets.
Current information is also collected to ensure an up to date stock that is relevant to all aspects of the study of Sunderland, not solely its history.
