The North Curry Archives, which are maintained under the terms of a trust, comprise a wide variety of donated or loaned artefacts, memorabilia, title deeds, documents, local family history records and photographs of people, places and events relating to the village of North Curry and surrounding area.
Our first Archivist, the late Mrs Betty Koppa, started collecting anything and everything relating to the village and its residents in 1947, and donated her entire collection to the Archives when they first opened in 2006. The Archive publishes a small number of publications highlighting various aspects of the village’s history and inhabitants, as well as other booklets published by the North Curry Society.
We can be found in the loft above the North Curry Community Coffee Shop in the centre of the village. No charge is made for visits to the Archives, but contributions towards expenses are always appreciated. Copies of documents, if available for release, can be made available at cost and, on the same basis, photographs can be digitally enhanced or copies made. Photographic exhibitions are mounted regularly on the staircase, and an annual display in the coffee shop.
The Archives can be accessed on request during the Community Coffee Shop’s opening hours, Tuesday to Sunday.
Trustees: Jane Dingle (Chair), Mary Tate, Neil Adams and Colin Trim (current Chair of the North Curry Society).
