Welcome to the Farnham & District Museum Society
We are Farnham’s history society, and one of our roles is to support the Museum of Farnham. Since 1963, our friendly and welcoming society has inspired members with the rich local history, archaeology, natural history, and art in Farnham and the surrounding area. The society presents a fascinating and varied programme of talks and publishes local history content.
The Events Programme
The society runs a well-attended events programme of local history talks, seminars, exhibition private viewings, book launches, visits and other events. Events, especially the popular talks programme, allow members to discover more about local history and socialise. For more information, click here.
Journal
The society journal has been published every quarter since 1965, making it the longest-running local history journal in Surrey. Supplied to all members and contributors, it allows them to delve deeper and learn more about the Farnham area. Our journal helps foster a strong community of history enthusiasts of all levels.

BOOKS & MORE
The Manning Library at the Museum of Farnham
Members of the society created the library at the Museum of Farnham largely from their own donations.
It has since grown into a larger reference library and archives through accessions from later society members, other libraries and items received or funded by the Museum.
The library takes its name from Elfida Manning, a former member of the society and museum advocate. The museum now manages the library. Please click here for details.
