Helpers are needed for involvement in local history projects as well as the recording of current events for posterity. Galleries contain hundreds of photographs and other illustrations, and many thousands of words of text recording the history of many aspects of life in Winsham over a thousand years.  Launched in May 2002, updated by a 'Second Edition' in 2009, it is believed to be the first village Web Museum in the U.K. It is a British Library Archived site.
