The main purpose of this thesis is to raise a discussion about the local history movement as not only a guardian of cultural and natural heritage but also as a political institution. This means that it affects the local area in various ways that is beneficial for local developement. I wanted to study the general views of the local history movement and have done so through analysing statements made by politicans and by the local history movement itself in relation to what scientists say about the local history movement. The qualities which have emerged have been discussed in relation to various political science theories. The material has been examined through a qualitative content analysis. The result shows a clear pattern among the views. The most apparent tendencies show patterns on matters regarding civic society, community, local identity and integration. The chosen theories proved to be useful as a basis of discussion and a source of understanding the local history movement in relation to human behaviour.
