Our Resources

Publications

The production of publications is at the Society’s core. Over the years four of our titles have won a LAMAS local history publications award. Explore Mitcham Histories, Local History Notes, Studies in Merton History, Discovering the Past and more here.

Photographs

The Society’s archive is centred principally on the photographs of Eric Montague and Bill Rudd.  View their collections and those of others here.

Research

Discover the work undertaken by the Society to transcribe important local history resources, to digitise key documents, to catalogue material deposited with us by former researchers and to record past archaeological excavations.

The Bulletin

Our Bulletin is published at the beginning of March, June, September and December.  As well as reports on meetings, visits and workshops, it includes news of current events, book reviews, and articles relating to the history of our area.  View the archive here.

Merton Mail

The Society’s e-newsletter was published monthly between June 2023 and December 2024, listing and reviewing MHS and other organisations’ events and reporting on local topical issues. Selected articles are reproduced here.
