Document Archive

Littlehampton Museum cares for a large paper based archive containing documents, newspapers and maps that relate to the history of the Town and its people. Our Documents range from personal letters to Littlehampton Guidebooks. The collection spans a huge time period and offers an excellent resource when researching the history of Town buildings or Town events.
