Our Story
We were established in 1965 as a non-profit making organisation, run entirely by volunteers. We provide a summer programme of events and walks and a selection of evening presentations during the winter.
We have an established library and archive. The archive is open to all and members can request the loan of our library books. We have produced a number of books and publications, which are available to purchase. We publish an annual journal, with articles written by our members and guests on items of research they have conducted on our local history.
​
We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who is conducting research on Keynsham or Saltford. Alternatively, if we can be of assistance with any queries you may have about our local history, please do get in touch.

We are passionate about research and improving knowledge about our local history. Some of our members have developed a specialist knowledge in their fields of interest that include, the Saltford Brass Mill, the Town and People of Keynsham, and Archaeology of the Keynsham Bypass 1961-1991. We have produced a Timeline of the history of Keynsham and Saltford. As we learn more, this timeline will be updated.
