"Cultural services make a considerable
contribution to the wider aims of both central and local government,
whether tackling social exclusion, encouraging a healthier lifestyle,
providing opportunities for voluntary and community activity, sparking
urban and rural regeneration or stimulating a commitment to lifelong
learning as well as enriching people’s lives."
Culture is what defines a community and
draws people together for their individual and collective creative growth
and development. Culture has both a material and valuable dimension
encompassing a wide range of activities and encouraging involvement and
discovery in both the history and the future of the community.

Heritage
Services
Have you ever wanted to discover more about the history of your area?
Are you interested in tracing back your family tree? Are you perhaps at
college or university who requires genealogical information? If so, our
Heritage Services will be able to help. We have extensive collections of
local material, objects, photographs, books and papers. With the History
Shop in Wigan, and the Archive Service and local history enquiry centre in
Leigh, there's a wealth of information on the history and heritage of your
local area available to everyone.
