On Wednesday 14 June, due to essential maintenance work, computers will not be available to use in Thurrock libraries. We apologise for any inconvenience. Wi-fi will still be available, and you will still be able to borrow and return items as usual.
The main local history collection is at Grays library on the first floor.
There is a wide range of books, maps, illustrations, photographs and microfilmed documents:
If you wish to use the microfilm machine, we advise you to phone Grays library in advance to book a 2-hour session with your Thurrock or Essex library card. A guest ticket can be provided if you live outside of Thurrock and Essex.
This machine can be booked for more than 2 hours at a time, as long as it's not already booked by someone else.
There is a small charge for printing from the microfilm reader – go to library charges.
