About UsThe group was set up in 1997 to provide a forum for the many historically based groups in the county of Staffordshire.
The historic county includes many areas that do not correspond with the current administrative regions. These include The Potteries, the Black Country and a number of towns and villages that have now been incorporated into Shropshire, Derbyshire Cheshire and the West Midlands. The current County Council only covers a small part of this historic county that has made major contributions to the nation There are two classes of membership, Group and Individual. The majority of people are members of member groups, but anyone with an interest in our activities is welcome to join. We are an umbrella group for all the local history, genealogy and archaeology groups within Staffordshire, which meets four times a year in Stafford. We promote, maintain, and encourage good practice, research, preservation of records and collaboration with other interested bodies in connection with local history, genealogy and archaeology. |
Staffordshire really stands out in history, from its Stone Age origins, through Roman and medieval times to modern industrial life. We have towns and villages with churches, castles and stately homes reflecting the unique identity of our area.
