TATSFIELD ARCHIVE CATALOGUE CONTENTS Most of this material is held by Tatsfield Parish Council or by the Tatsfield History Project. Original items and copies are stored at the Aileen McHugo Building in Tatsfield. Most of the original material has been deposited at the Surrey History Centre in Woking, with hard copies retained in Tatsfield. The numbering system allows additions to be made to the several thousand items already in the archive with minimum changes to numbering. The contents section indicates where information is likely to be found. Material about a particular subject can often be found spread across different sections of the archive, according to its origin and/or date of acquisition. Scanned versions of material held in the National Archives or at the Surrey History Centre can normally be found in sections 3/1 and 3/4. The more fertile general areas of the archive are: Images, or books such as: Tatsfield: the first 2000 years (extracts from the text published in 1999), Tales of Tatsfield, (published in 1987) and Tatsfield School Past and Present (published in 2010). The ‘People’ link leads to nearly 17,000 entries from census returns, church records, directories and other sources. The Parish Registers have details from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The digest of Parish Council minutes (1894-1995) contains brief references to people and events during the years covered. Original minute books covering 1894 to December 2007 have been scanned. Later minutes are available on the Parish Council website. Local press coverage has information about people and events since the 1880s. A summary of such items from the Westerham Herald and Sevenoaks Chronicle is also included. Local press items have been scanned each month since 2006. Digital copies of the Parish Magazine are available from January 2010. N.B.
