Northwich GEMS

In her talk to the Society in October 2024, Lisa Greenhaigh from Cheshire Archives introduced Society Members to the Cheshire GEMS project.

There was considerable interest from members, and the Society Committee has agreed to help co-ordinate the collection of a long list of potential GEMs within the Northwich and District area.

Documents from Cheshire Archives giving guidance on selecting items for inclusion, and answering frequent questions are shown below.  They can be read on this site or downloaded for future reference.

Images from the Cheshire Archives can be found at the Cheshire Image Bank.

Records and other Cheshire Archive collections may be searched at the Cheshire Archives Catalogue.
