The Martham Local History Group created this archive as part of a project managed by the Norfolk Record Office — the Skills, Support and Sustainability (CASSAS) project, funded by the National Lottery. MLHG is proud to be associated with this ground-breaking project.
Our archive offers an insight into our digital collection where each item is catalogued and carries an accession number. We also provide a page for our publications, which can be downloaded.
As this collection builds, we hope you will want to join us as a member, or a visitor. Much of our collection can be viewed here, but there are many documents also lodged at the Norfolk Record Office in Norwich. We aim to build up a collection of facsimiles here over time.

Our local library has a special Martham Collection which includes books of local interest. They can be consulted for reference in the library when a librarian or accredited volunteer is present. Some books may be borrowed, and all are catalogued in the County Library system.
