Little Eaton Local History Society

Little Eaton Local History Society was formed in 2016 when the founder members became aware that the vast collection of historical records and artefacts stored in John Easter’s spare room had an uncertain future and was in danger of being lost.

With the help of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the committee set out to make this collection available for all to view, and to preserve it for future generations. This involved a considerable amount of time being spent sorting and cataloguing thousands of photographs, documents, postcards, maps and newspaper clippings. Everything then had to be scanned to create a digital copy which could be stored electronically for future reference.
