Our Claremont H.Q. is now closed to visitors pending the relocation of the YAHS to a new headquarters facility. There will be a part time office service based at Claremont in the interim period (see the Visiting Us link).
The Claremont Library materials are now located at the University of Leeds Brotherton Library, some of the more popular items are relocated at the Leeds City Central Library.
The YAHS's Archived Collections at Claremont are now located at the University of Leeds Library's Special Collections (in the Brotherton Library).
These are now accessible.
The Section is actively looking at circulating the Yorkshire Family
Historian in electronic format to those members willing to co-operate in
this modern method of distribution. Additionally we are exploring
the process of placing the Historian in a Members Only section of this
website.
