A History of Local History Societies

With the approach of the Society’s 150th anniversary in 2007, the Trustees of the Allen Grove Local History Fund are considering commissioning a history of local archaeological, antiquarian and history societies in Kent up to 1914. The Trustees will welcome any views on the merits of this proposal and how it should be approached.

A person or organization will be needed to carry out the research and write the text. The Trustees are looking for a volunteer or suggestions of someone suitable who may be able to undertake this work.

The Fund will pay the out of pocket expenses involved in the research and arrange publication. The detailed arrangements will be negotiated with the person chosen to undertake the work.

Anyone interested in undertaking the work, or who wishes to make any suggestions, is invited to write to the Hon. Secretary Mr. A. I. Moffat at Three Elms, Woodlands Lane, Shorne, Gravesend, DA12 3HH or email him at the address below.
