Who are we?

Welcome to Rotherham Archives and Local Studies service, primarily based at Clifton Park Museum. We collect, preserve, and provide access to hundreds of years’ worth of informational resources that reveal the rich history and heritage of Rotherham.

Archives are records created by a person, family, or organisation which are preserved for future generations because of their continuing historical, cultural, and evidential value.
