• Library of local history books and trade directories
  
  
• Collection of maps including 6 inch Ordnance Survey maps, tithe maps and apportionments
  
  
• Database of heritage photographs, dating from as early as the 1870s

There is a Devon Record Office service point. Printing and photocopying of Local History databases and other resources. Scanned prints from the Musem's collections, both framed and unframed, are available to order.

There is a small charge per session, and for printing and copying. Friends of the Cookworthy Museum may use the facilities free of charge (except the microfilm reader/printer).

If you are researching anything historical within the South Hams, you really should call in and have a chat as you never know what you might discover.
