Shap Local History Society was formed in 2001 with the aim of
recording and collecting together the vast amount of archive material
relating to the Parish.
The aim is to digitally
record photographs and documents which are in private hands,
returning the originals to the owners.
A project is also
underway to make oral history recordings. Much of the equipment
to set up the society was funded by the National Lottery Awards
for All Fund. Funding is also received from Cumbria County
Council Neighbourhood forum for ongoing costs to fund exhibitions.
The Society hosts
monthly lectures and an annual social event in November. The
monthly lectures are held on the last Monday of the month.
Details of these are shown on the events
page, and application forms for membership can be obtained
by contacting us - or come along to the next meeting.
