Guardians of the Poor Minute Book transcriptions are now available to Members.
We have had a number of volunteers labouring over the Minute Books of the Guardians of the Poor for some time.
We have now deployed this data on the website, but there is still much more that can be added. You can search by name or keyword, and the results will allow you to link to the minutes of a specific meeting.
To search, start at
Search Guardians of the Poor Minutes
Thanks to all our current and past volunteers working on this project, and also to the Isle of Wight County record Office for permission to make the transcriptions.
