Join Barnsley Archives and Local Studies and Barnsley Civic at Wombwell Library for an opportunity to explore your family history and discover more about Barnsley’s past!
On Monday 23rd November, from 10am to1pm, the Barnsley Archives team will be on hand to help with your family and local history enquiries, offering access to digital resources including the Barnsley Chronicle (1858–2023), and indexes to cemetery burials and building plans. They’ll also be able to offer their expert guidance on using Ancestry, Find My Past and the British Newspaper Archive websites to uncover more about your family and local heritage.
During this event, Barnsley Civic will also be sharing some of the exciting discoveries they’ve made through their recent collaborative project with Barnsley Archives, exploring 150 years of Barnsley Civic’s history. If you have any old photographs, memorabilia or stories connected to the Barnsley Civic or Civic Hall we’d love to hear them!
