Ropley History & Archive (RHN&A) Local History Group

Exploring Researching Sharing

The group is open to all with an interest in the history of the village and surrounding area. Involvement and contributions are on an informal & voluntary basis, with individuals meeting to share and discuss areas of interests and their own research projects.
We run fortnightly working groups for volunteers helping to populate the website and digital archive, and can provide training in digitising, archiving and cataloguing for those interested in gaining new skills.
If you would like to join us, contribute documents or any information about Ropley and the surrounding area, take part in an oral history recording or start/take part in a history project, please do get in touch.  
Please come along and join us.
