Falmouth History Archive

The Falmouth History Archive is led by a friendly and committed group of volunteers who can guide you through our Archives about Falmouth and its history.

The resources include over 5000 photographs, many from the Victorian era, original maps of Falmouth and the surrounding area, original plans, deeds, maps and other documents relating to properties, businesses and organisations, over 400 books, a collection of original Falmouth Packet newspapers dating from 1860 onwards and approximately 60 taped oral history conversations with local people.

The group are available in the Chellew Room on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10am to 12pm if you would like to pop along and say hello.
