The centre exists to encourage interest in local and family history in Redhill, Reigate, Bletchingley, Buckland, Earlswood, Gatton, Leigh, Merstham, Nutfield, Salfords and Sidlow.

We offer an extensive range of resources including census records, parish registers, large scale maps, directories and photos.

We provide a microfilm and microfiche reader-printer and there is access to the internet on the library computer terminals.

If we can't answer your question, we can refer you to local experts or Surrey History Centre. When the centre is not staffed you can leave a written enquiry.

The centre is a partnership between Surrey Libraries, Surrey History Centre, Reigate and District Family History Group, Holmesdale Natural History Club, Reigate Priory Museum and the Merstham Society.
