News Letters
During the creation of the Black Country History web site, the project produced nineteen newsletters. As well as providing news of activity, the newsletters also have useful articles on the collections which have been catalogued and pictures digitised.
The newsletters have been provided with a short summary which will tell you where there is an article on those collections.
