Affiliated Societies
Cambridge Antiquarian Society
LDHS is affiliated with the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. This has allowed LDHS members to have access to CAS Collections; Archives; Conferences and Lectures. Whilst some events incur a charge LDHS members are able to attend the CAS Lectures free of charge.
Airfield Research Group
It is with great pleasure that LDHS can announce that the Society is now affiliated with the Airfield Research Group, which in turn intends to become an affiliated society to LDHS. ARG has considerable expertise on WW2 airfields and they have kindly offered to help and support LDHS as we work towards protecting and promoting the heritage of RAF Oakington. In return, ARG will benefit from being kept up to date with what is happening on the former site of RAF Oakington and they are keen to help us going forward. Representatives from ARG have offered to come to provide LDHS members and the wider community with talks, and the group may provide a source of volunteers who will help support LDHS and our work with the heritage building, acting as keyholder/guides for the Oakington Pillboxes, etc.

Additional Mike Petty Resources Online.
- Mike Petty has created an important new resource for people researching Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, or the fens. All this is free to use and is well worth a click . It includes a Bibliography of thousands of Cambridgeshire books so you can track down what has been written about your topic.
- There is a Cambridgeshire Scrapbook recording thousands of fascinating stories from Cambridge papers between 1897 and 1990 and extracts of newspaper stories on Ely from 1820 to 1860. A Century of Cambridge News records events 1888 onwards – war, theatre, education, housing, etc. a large file of Memories and Reflections on the local area, a major history of the village of Stretham, and Pickwick’s Cambridge Scrapbook recording people and events of the 1820s. Then there is a list of over 17,000 illustrations. Plus more. With more to come.
