The following source list was originally available only on paper in one of the West Yorkshire Archive Service offices. It may have been compiled many years ago and could be out of date. It was designed to act as a signpost to records of interest on a particular historical subject, but may relate only to one West Yorkshire district, or be an incomplete list of sources available. Please feel free to add or update with any additional information. |
During the creation of a digital community archive on www.nowthen.org.uk a list was created of collections in relation to the Irish community in West Yorkshire. The This is Our History project collected together oral recordings, written stories and images for mthe communites.
