Solihull Heritage & Local Studies Service at The Core Library is the Borough's memory bank and collects local history resources relating to all of the places within the present Solihull Metropolitan Borough and within the former Solihull Rural District. | |||
An [http://www.calmview.eu/solihull/ online catalogue] is available, although this is not yet a complete listing of our holdings of archives and local studies collections. | |||
