Norfolk history groups and community archives can learn how to explore and record the history of their local area by joining a conference at Norfolk Record Office.

The Exploring Your Community conference will include a talk by staff from the Heritage Lottery Fund about how to apply for grants.

There will also be a choice of workshops on topics including document handling and cataloguing.

Attendees can also discover what other groups are doing and will be given a free photography permit to use at the Record Office.

The event runs from 10.30am to 3.30pm on Saturday, February 25.

Places are limited and tickets cost £10, including lunch.
