Bognor Regis Local History Society was formed in 1979 to promote research into, and recording of, the town's history. In 1984 the Society founded a museum which was, and still is, run by volunteers and supported by the local Councils. It offers free entry to the visitor, who can not only learn about Bognor's beginnings and over two centuries of the town's development, but also social history, in the form of mock shop window displays covering many subjects.
