Catalogue

Here you will find links to historical material collections in our digital catalogue.  The collections are discrete archives assembled and maintained by local groups, but searching for a subject, place or format will provide you with results from all collections in the catalogue. Additional collections and the material that they contain will be added to the catalogue over the coming months.
You can find links to other archives of historical material relevant to the Yorkshire Dales outside this website via the "archives" tab on the main menu.
Articles prepared by contributors on specific topics and themes are outside the catalogue and can be accessed via the "topics" tag on the main menu.
