:The Society has been working on the history of Formby since it was established in the 1950s. During that time it has built up a considerable archive consisting of maps, photographs and documents together with a useful local history library. Much of this archive has been 'digitised' and some is accessible from our website. We hope to increase this in line with the national digital 'Access 2 Archives' scheme. | |||
