Herbert Page took an active role in the Redditch Literary and Scientific Institute and at
one time was its Honorary Secretary.
When he compiled the 'History of the Redditch Literary and Scientific Institute' in 1896 he
commented: 'It has justly been remarked by a careful observer that "with the population
and the importance of the town the Institute ought to have a membership of one
thousand". Let the public now respond and make it so.'
He compiled various scrapbooks consisting of newspaper cuttings bequeathed him by
William Avery, including those of his own contributions to the Redditch Indicator, and
other documents.
These compilations were presented to the Institute for its library and are held in the
present Redditch Library.
Dr. Page's interest in education extended to the new Redditch Technical School which
opened in 1900, and he was a member of its first Subcommittee.
He was also the curator of the Technical School's museum.
