The Blaxhall Archive Group has around 12 regular members, ranging from 33 to 93 years of age! Other members of the community also help with different projects. Some are relatively new to the village while others have been life-long residents but what they have in common is a passion to record and preserve the social history of their Suffolk village.
The Group has been collecting images of Blaxhall, mainly photographs, since 2002. The subject matter is comprehensive and includes images of individuals, places and social events from the past one hundred years.
With funding from the Local Heritage Initiative, the group are also producing a 140 page book about the social history of Blaxhall, and a DVD containing video snippets, photographs from the database, and maps and other documents.
In addition to the website below, the Blaxhall Archive Group have a section on the Local Heritage Initiative website which gives more information about their work and includes a collection of photos.
