Talks for Groups and Societies

Details of our programme of talks are given below. After the title of each talk, there is a letter code. This indicates the contact office. A talk can be given at your usual meeting venue or can be held at the Staffordshire Record Office.

Talks

The following talks are available. Please note that talks cannot normally be given about a specific place as this involves a considerable amount of preparatory work and research. It may be possible occasionally to provide such a talk for a specific or special occasion and this can be discussed with the County Archivist. Charges for specific talks are indicated in the following list.

Please note that it is not always possible to accommodate some talks on Wednesday or Thursday evenings, as these are late night openings. This means that staff cannot always be available to give talks on these evenings.
