• To encourage members individually or in groups to carry out research into aspects of the local history of Bearwardcote, Burnaston and Etwall
• To enhance understanding of the methods of local historians and to set historical events in their contemporary context by means of outside speakers

• To build up an archive of historical material relative to the locality

Membership is open to those who share these objectives
