Hertfordshire is well represented with books providing research on men and women from Hertfordshire locations. Usually these are about multiple people from a Hertfordshire loaction, but there are other which are about individuals or families. There are also other books relating war and Hertfordshire location. Many are listed here.
Some are available in our Archives in digital form - the main purpose of these is to record and save the research and hard work for the future. Many people, particular if they live or are related to the location, would want to own an original copy. Where known we provide details here, but obviously we cannot guarantee their availability.
If you know of others that should be listed please tell us via jontywild@hertsatwar.co.uk.
