A collection of cuttings from newspapers (predominately local but occasionally national) that pertain to Southend-on-Sea and it's history or points of interest.
Collated into various formats:
- Bound Cuttings Books (newspaper cuttings pasted into a book in chronological order)
- Cuttings Folders (sorted by general topic of the cutting)
- Loose Cuttings (held in boxes and magazine holders. Very limited connection and organisation)
Cuttings were collated by Southend Libraries librarians as a daily task. No new cuttings since 2013.
