Brummie’s is a ‘Who’s Who’ of the ordinary ‘Working Men & Women’ who live or have lived in the City of Birmingham. Anyone, dead or alive can be remembered in this Archive so if you are on your own and you want to put yourself into the collection just fill in the forms as you would want to be remembered.
The charge is a one off donation of £10 (per person you want remembered). Brummies is a not for profit organisation and your payment will be used for the running of the Archive. Unlike an Obituary in a Newspaper costing around £100 for a one-night insertion, a page in Brummies is going to be around long after we have all gone for our descendants to find.
Cheque’s please to: The Heartlands Local History Society
Postal Applications
Once this application pack arrives (usually within 28 days) you will find an example of the layout we use. All you have to do is attach one or two photographs of the person (as per example) and an account of their lives (around 200 words please) then pop it back in the return envelope. It is entirely up to you how you get the pack back to us, either by registered/ordinary post or deliver it by hand as we cannot be held liable for any items lost in the post.
Once we receive your entry we will process it into the collection, it will be typed up (as per example so don’t worry about spellings etc) and returned to you for a final ok together with your photographs. If you are happy with it we will then give it its rightful place in the “Brummies Archive”.
Applications by Email:
If you complete the whole process by yourself and scan your photographs into the application and Email it to us the charge is reduced to £5 (per person you want remembered). Emails to heartlands.history@blueyonder.co.uk
At the moment as the site is in it’s early days, the book is available at our Headquarters (address below) where on a Monday (except Bank Holidays) morning 10am-12.30 you can come and enjoy a cuppa and look through the Brummies that we have already, you can also come on the 4th Wednesday in every month (except December) 10am-12.30 to our Heartlands Local History meetings and have a look at the photograph collection as well. Brummies are always welcome.
No Brummie should ever be forgotten
Don’t let your Families History end up in a Skip.
