Description: | The museum's main archive at present comprises some 6400 items of historical record stored on computer and backed up with original material or hard copies. In addition we have copies of many of the registration records of local fishing boats. The original 1891 census of the coastal towns from Shoreham through Brighton to Newhaven, an abstract of the 1881 census of Sussex, and an abstract from the 1851 census of Brighton are all held on microfiche. Census data relating to the fishing community is being posted on a computer and there is also a substantial family history resource available to the public. There is a small but growing library of fishing, maritime, local history, workshop, folk and museum books and periodicals. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | 201 Kings Road Arches
