Submitting items for inclusion in the project

We are always pleased to receive images, letters, maps, or other suitable material which reflects the character and history of Herefordshire. Even modern photographs are useful since they help us build a visual archive for the future. High resolution images may be emailed to herefordshirehistory@herefordshire.gov.uk  or sent via www.wetransfer.com if the files are too big to email. If you have multiple or oversize items we can arrange to scan material for you.
