OUR ARCHIVE

The Warminster School Archive is the heart of our heritage.

Our Archive preserves the rich history of Warminster School, spanning its evolution since 1707. The collection is a treasure trove of items that reveal the story of the school and its role within the local community. It includes photographs, school magazines, administrative records, sports club histories, architectural plans, and various forms of memorabilia. Together, these materials illustrate the life of Warminster School over the centuries.

In addition to records documenting school activities, we also maintain a collection of older and rarer books from the school's library, which include teaching materials as well as volumes significant to the history of Warminster and the surrounding region.

The Archive is also home to items from the Old Verlucians' Association, maintaining the legacy and memories of Warminster alumni over generations.

Our Archives Room is not just a storage spaceā€”it's a living repository of memories, providing pupils, staff, alumni, and researchers with access to our collective history. Whether you're interested in exploring Warminster's past, tracing your family history, or simply curious about school life across the years, our Archive offers a window into a fascinating story that continues to unfold today.

VOLUNTEERING

Warminster School recognises the valuable contributions of volunteers to supporting our Archive over the years.

We warmly welcome Old Verlucians and members of the wider school community to volunteer in the Archives, whether on a regular or one-off basis. Availability is limited due to staff resources, but we do our best to accommodate interest. We may also promote specific volunteering projects as they arise.

Volunteer projects at the Warminster School Archive may involve the following types of tasks:

  • Cataloguing and listing archives and books
  • Preservation packaging of material
  • Sorting and organising material
  • Project research
  • Digitisation of records
  • Supporting exhibitions and events

Anyone interested in volunteering with us is very welcome to get in contact for further information and to discuss current options: community@warminsterschool.org.uk
