About Us - Archives
We have an extensive reference library of School Records: Local Cemetery Records; Rushden Census of 1901: and various Pre-1900 local wills.
We hold a growing collection of photographs and memorabilia of the Rushden Neighbourhood, and are usually prepared to accept and care for small items donated by the public.
We continue to place plaques on buildings of interest in the town.
For 2009, we are making a book donation to Newton Road School.
We produce a quarterly journal, "The Risdene Echo", which is free to members. It can be purchased by non-members. In 1999 we held a successful History Day, which was repeated in 2001.

The Society has also seen the importance of supporting local schools with donations and sponsorships.
To this end, it has donated books and a book token to Alfred Street School.
We hope that the books will encourage children to study the past and develop an interest in history.
