WELCOME TO THE CHRISTCHURCH HISTORY SOCIETY

The Society organises ten evening meetings a year, with talks on topics usually involving local history. It organises visits and guided walks and attends community events.

The Society is the custodian of the Christchurch Archive, some 20,000 documents, photos and maps, on which a group of volunteers carry out research. The archive is constantly being extended.
