The Society was founded in 1976 and we have about 650 members, mainly in the UK with some from overseas.

The benefits of joining us and what we offer, can be found here.

We have detailed knowledge of the county, the archives and other resources. So, if you are interested in exploring your family history, or if you want to discover more about the local area in which your ancestors lived or worked, we can assist you.

We hold two branch meetings each month, one in Kettering and one in Weston Favell, which are open to everybody, but we ask non-members to make a small donation.

Our monthly online meetings, for members only, cover a wide range of topics of interest to researchers. Details of all our upcoming meetings can be found here.

The Society works closely with Northamptonshire Archives and has links with other local societies and groups through our membership of the Northamptonshire Heritage Forum. The Society is a member of the Family History Federation.
