Centralized guide to all EPCC's local history publications, videos and guides and sources for local history topics

Why Use This Page?

There may not be a lot of information on a particular person but you can research several individuals who are in the same field or have similar interests.  If you're doing research on a particular topic, it helps to have lists of people who are active in that topic/field. 

Research tips

Note details that might seem insignificant at first glance, in case one finds other information later.

Women's information is often found through researching the men in their lives (i.e. husband, fathers, etc.) so the notes here might only state that Mrs. X was married to Mr. X who was important for some reason, but in researching him, there might be information about his wife found later.
