Shap
Local History Society is registered as a Charity no. 1117146

Shap Local History
Society was formed in 2001 with the aim of recording and
collecting together the vast amount of archive material relating
to the Parish.
The aim is to digitally
record photographs and documents
which are in private hands, returning the originals to the owners.
A project is also underway
to make oral history recordings. Much of the equipment to set up
the society was funded by the National Lottery Awards for All Fund.
Funding is also received from Cumbria County Council Neighbourhood
forum for ongoing costs to fund exhibitions.
The Society hosts monthly
lectures and an annual social event in November. The monthly lectures
are held on the last Monday of the month. Details of these are shown
on the events page, and application
forms for membership can be obtained by contacting
us - or come along to the next meeting.
