Wolverhampton Archives and Local Studies acquires material about the local area and this is made available for you to look at free of charge. We have documents, maps, photographs, books, videos and film etc. relating to all aspects of the history of places now within the City of Wolverhampton (including Bilston, Penn, Tettenhall and Wednesfield).

Sixth form students and their teacher view original documents.

We are constantly reviewing our website and attempting to put as much information online as we can. Some of the material on these pages requires special software to view it.

There are maps and a family history tutorial which require the Flash Player, and many of our lists and indexes require version 4 of the Acrobat Reader.

These can be downloaded free by clicking on the buttons below
