Welcome to Midlands Historical Data
This is a digital library for local and family historians interested in the Midlands - the old counties of
Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire (Inc. Birmingham) and Worcestershire,
although we do have a little material from neighbouring counties. The whole collection
can be viewed on-line, and - with the exception of Electoral Rolls - is also available on CD.
Quarterly/annual Subscriptions or Pay-as-you-go
options are available to view the library on-line. Read more
Please note that we have changed the way we process payments. We will no longer be using Worldpay and will instead use Stripe.
The result is that you will have a different, and we hope, better experience at Checkout.
