Our local studies library doesn't hold all of the archives for the area, they are in Stafford. They hold local parish registers on fiche and local newspapers on film. They do have some old maps.
The librarian I spoke to said that the move to the smaller room was because it's underused since so much is online. The old room that was the local studies is going to be the Register Office for births and deaths. All the new room has is one long bench, the room is about 15ft x 6ft, one film reader and one fiche reader, there were two fiche readers previously plus three computers. At the moment there are no computers in there although there is supposedly going to be one only. Access to Ancestry is available on other computers around the library. There is a large glass cabinet with old local books and that's it.

Fantastic! I now have the baptism for OH's 2x-great-grandmother, which never seemed to have been transcribed.

Claire, they say that there are some parishes still to come for which microfilms were not available.

That's good to know
Will keep fingers crossed Brierley Hill / Kingswinford / Brockmoor are all in those to come.

Lichfield's missing, although I know they've microfilmed the records.
