Historical Society

Our Mission

The mission of the Chichester Historical Society shall be to:

  • Bring together citizens and friends interested in the history of Chichester;
  • Identify and preserve the landmarks, documents, artifacts, and other items of historical interest to the town;
  • Keep alive our heritage by recording the history and incidents of the past and present;
  • Support education about the history of Chichester.

The Historical Society is always interested in acquiring old photos of people and places in Chichester, old diaries, or artifacts used and owned by residents as well as Chichester advertising signs, architectural fragments, and other items of interest. Photos can be scanned and the originals returned. Contact Fred Shaw.
