The aims of the Society are to: 
a)    Encourage interest and research into all aspects of our local history.
b)    Conserve and maintain any documents and artefacts either donated or entrusted to the society.

Monthly meetings usually include a talk on some historical topic. There is an annual membership fee of £15 but non-members and visitors are welcome to meetings for a £3 entrance fee which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.

We’re not called Cranborne Local History Society AND PARISH ARCHIVES  for nothing you know.

The society has access to thousands of local archive documents, photographs and artifacts. If you are researching  your family history in the area or the story of your house in Cranborne or are curious about the history of some part of the village, the archives might be of assistance to you.

Please contact the society secretary via the email address below or by phone. Better still come along to one of our monthly meetings and have a chat with a committee member. We’ll be the ones running around like headless chickens!
