WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE RECORDERS OF UTTLESFORD HISTORY !

The Recorders of Uttlesford History (RUH) are an independent federation of local historians and local history societies throughout the District of Uttlesford in north-west Essex. The RUH was set up in 1998 by the Essex Local History Recorders Scheme and in 2003 became an autonomous, fully-constituted organisation. The object of Recorders is to record the present, and to ensure that valuable archives and artefacts of the past are conserved. Most of the 57 parishes in Uttlesford are represented by a Recorder appointed by the RUH organising committee. They carry out a wide range of activities, often in conjunction with a local history society. Further information is given on the RUH website under ‘About Us’ and Recorders’ annual reports can be found under the individual parish sections. The RUH committee supports Recorders by offering workshops, lectures and other activities, the use of a database and website, loan of equipment, regular news bulletins, advice and other resources. The RUH has strong links to Saffron Walden Museum, Saffron Walden Town Library and Essex Record Office, and Recorders are encouraged to work closely with their local parish councils and local societies. There are a number of vacancies in some Uttlesford parishes, and we welcome enquiries from potential Recorders in those parishes not listed on this website. Further information is obtainable by email: chair@recordinguttlesfordhistory.org.uk
