About us

The Herts Memories website was launched in 2009 to celebrate life in Hertfordshire. Please add new memories, photos, knowledge and opinions about the County - as it is today and as it was in the past.

The site is a community history website run by local volunteers and hosted by Hertfordshire County Council. The content is contributed by members of the public and volunteers. Volunteer editors post the articles and moderate for offensive material but the County Council is not responsible for checking the factual accuracy of the content. Further contributions and corrections to existing material are always welcome.
