Education Resources
Previously the collection was only accessible to a handful of
determined scholars. We are now working with schools, adult
learners and community groups to take the collection to as many
people as possible.
Resources for Schools
We are making outreach visits to city primary schools to support
history, geography, literacy, art and drama. We hope to
develop standard workshops and lessons but we are happy to work
with teachers’ individual needs.
There are four education resources for Key
Stage 3 available on CD. They have been compiled with guidance from
secondary school teachers and educational advisors to ensure they
support the National Curriculum, and the Personal, Learning &
Thinking Skills framework.
All come with a brief discussion of the
archive documents used, full transcriptions and high-quality colour
images of all the documents.

Private Dancox, V.C.

The CDs are free to schools. A sample page from each resource can
be viewed here. To request copies, please contact
us.
Worcestershire Record Office already has a
wide range of education packs for schools, covering different
parishes, WWI and WWII, the Civil War and the Victorians. For more
information about them, please visit the Record Office’s
Education Service pages.
Talks & Visits
We are happy to come to your organisation to give a talk, and we
can usually arrange to bring some of the original documents to
display.
Small groups of up to ten people can be accommodated at the
Record Office. Please contact us in advance to book places.
