Newspapers

Local newspapers provide a wealth of information for local and family history, including details of events, people, businesses etc. A comprehensive selection of local newspapers is held at Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies and Hertfordshire libraries in either hard copy or on microfilm, the earliest dating from 1772. Many of these have been indexed to make your research easier.
