Index to Newsletters of the Birkenhead History Society Prepared by Chris Morris, 30 March 2012 Since the inception of the Society in 1974 we have always produced a regular Newsletter. At present (2013) this is issued free to all paid-up members with 3 Editions per year. It has become a valuable resource for Local History researchers and over the past – nearly 40 – years, many and various topics have been covered. This index is complete until #119 and is searchable. Most of the Public Libraries in Birkenhead and Wirral have a file of past Newsletters but if you wish to be sent a specific article or edition then please contact the current Editor & Committee Member Mr Andrew Hodgson, or use the contact form on our webpage.
