Are you interested in the history of your local community?

Are you planning or are you already in the process of tracing your family history?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes then Blaenau Gwent Libraries' Local Studies resources can help you.

The Local Study Resource Centre at Tredegar Library holds all kinds of information about the borough and its borders. There are books, journals, directories, maps, newspapers and photographs. Many of the resources are held on Microfiche and Microfilm. Microfilm and microfiche readers are limited and so advance booking is recommended.

All libraries hold small collections of materials relating to the local area. However, the largest collection of local study material is held at the Local Studies Resource Centre at Tredegar Library.
