Village History and Archive

The purpose of the Archive is to build, maintain and enhance a digital library of photographs, documents etc. etc. and certain data about Child Okeford and Hanford to enable easy and ready access for current and future generations whether it is to research their own ancestry or just interest in the community’s history.

The current initiative started in earnest in 2015 and many photographs, booklets, documents, maps, posters, programmes, extracts from the parish council minutes and parish magazine “The Hill” have already been digitalised. Certain data records such as censuses, birth and burial records have been transposed into “Word” based files to enhance access and enable an easy search mechanism.
