Wyndham History
Our Digital Local History Collection is an online collection of digital artefacts and resources that shine a light on this vital and distinct area, including its environment, the people and events. It is a collection about the community, curated with the community, to research and connect with our shared and unique histories. As the Collection develops, our hope is that it will grow, with your help, into a living archive: never finished and always changing.
