MALSC has re-opened!

The new Medway Archives Centre is now open to the public. The new address is: 32 Bryant Road, Strood ME2 3EP (previously the old Strood library).

Welcome!

We are the Friends of Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre (FOMA). Our aims are to help with the conservation and preservation of the records and other materials of historical interest held at the Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre (MALSC) and to promote public access.
