In June 2007, Ormskirk and District Family History Society (registered charity no. 1004895) opened their Research Library in central Ormskirk for the first time. Thanks to donations and contributions from Society members and the public, the Research Library has become a unique repository for materials designed to help family historians and local historians alike - and in early 2023 we decided it was time to share some of our treasures with the community.
On 11 March 2023, the ODFHS Research Library opened its doors to the public for a special Open Day featuring selected items from our collection. With members of our Society scattered across the globe, we knew that it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to join us, so we created this video to capture a few moments from the day.
A very special thank you to our volunteers for the time and effort they gave to preparing for the Open Day, creating displays, promoting the event, setting up and tidying up, and assisting the many visitors that we welcomed to the event.
