House Detectives

The Welwyn Garden Heritage Trust's Where Do You Think You Live? project encouraged WGC residents to learn about the history of their homes via a series of talks, visits and study sessions at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies (HALS), the Local Studies Collection at WGC Library and the Archive and Resources Room at Mill Green Museum.

The following pages contain information about using local archives to source information and some of the House Detectives research undertaken by residents or, in some cases, by students from the University of Hertfordshire's History Department on behalf of residents unable to undertake the research themselves.
