WHAT YOUR MEMBERSHIP OFFERS It is intended that membership will allow on-line access to a large archive of research writings on the history of Sunderland and its people, extracts of talks given, insights into the identity of the city and local areas, new sources for researching Sunderland's history, oral testimonies and reminiscences etc. In addition we intend to have our large photographic archive on-line for access to the membership. Work on this is currently on-going and, over the next few weeks, we intend to upload hundreds of images. Our large local history library, picture library and archives which are stored at 6 Douro Terrace are available to members. . The archives are open weekly every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning 9.30a.m.- 12noon. Lectures on a variety of historical issues and topics on Sunderland and its environs are given each month by some very entertaining and informed speakers. These are held on the third Tuesday of each month in the MAIN Hall at Thornhill School 7.15pm - 9.15pm. Programme details can be found on this website (see What's On) and in the Newsletters. The Society publishes regular Newsletters (sent out to members) to help keep members in touch, especially those living at a 'distance,' Details of members' research interests or queries are also welomed to promote the newsletter as a research organ. Since 1900 donations to the archives by the people of Sunderland have enabled the Society to build up a huge bank of resources for local research. Work has now commenced to make these available on-line for the benefit of the membership. Articles, features, photographs and maps will be uploaded on a regular basis in the MEMBERS ONLY AREA. To access this members are issued with an exclusive PASSWORD.
