Society Archives The Society has devised a very detailed classification system for recording information about and district. The information relating to the archive material in the care of the Society has been broadly classified within the detailed system. The Society maintains a very comprehensive bibliography, by subject, and will willingly supply this information for those wishing to research a particular topic of Runcorn history. The postcards and photographs in the collection have been moved from their original listing place and appear as separate lists at the end of the Archive listing. The resultant gaps in the numbering sequence will be filled by later acquisitions. Updated to 08.08.2007.
