Our searchroom can be chilly in cold weather. You may like to consider bringing in extra jumpers or cardigans with you when you visit.

Document retrievals: Documents must be pre-ordered in advance of your visit. If you are not sure of the individual document references please do ask - staff will usually be able to send you more detailed catalogues for the collections you are interested in.

Appointments

Please contact us by telephone 0113 535 0152 or by email bradford@wyjs.org.uk prior to planning your visit. Staff will advise you on whether to reserve a table, a computer or a microfiche reader, depending on which records you wish to consult. A number of our collections are held off-site and must be pre-ordered at least a week in advance.

Please note that if you would like to view original archive material an appointment is necessary.

Group talks and workshops

A range of talks are available to groups and organisations who would like to find out more about our Archive Service. In our talks we aim to explain the work we do and help to raise public awareness of our collections and expertise. We offer many different talks, details of which and how to book can be found here.
