Family History Resources

Frome Museum holds an astonishingly wide collection of historical information and items relating to Frome and the surrounding villages. Many items and records include information on individuals as well as the places they lived and worked – much of which is like gold dust to the family historian! Items that you won’t find on subscription sites are readily available to search on our collection catalogue.

For a detailed list of our holdings check our Family History Resources page.

Using the collections: Have a go at using the online Collections Catalogue – you never know what you might find. Try using different keywords if you don’t immediately find what you are looking for.

If you need advice or would like to make an appointment to call in and look at our records in person, please contact us either by email at info@frome-museum.org or by telephone on 01373 454611.

An appointment is essential, as we are normally unable to help you access specific records without advance notice. With enough notice, we are more than happy to pull out relevant items and have them waiting for you when you arrive.
