Chesham High School history department is undertaking a long-term project to archive as much primary and secondary material as possible about life in Chesham during the war. To this effect, the department is interviewing local residents who have memories of life in Chesham during the war. These interviews are being conducted by the pupils on digital video tape and then made available to local libraries and schools on DVD as a digital archive and local history resource for further study.

Our first contributors were Mrs. Kath Dolling and Mrs. Deidre Britten. You can find out more about them and our other contributors by clicking on the "Contributors" link on the left.

Transcriptions of the interviews and other material will appear on this website dedicated to Chesham in the Second World War. It’s hoped that local people, and those who have moved away, will be able to add further memories and anecdotes from the period.
