Harrogate and District Family History Society is a small independent society who have been in existence since March 2006. Prior to this time we were part of Ripon Historical and Family History Society.
We promote and encourage the public study of both family and local history in the Harrogate and surrounding areas. We also promote the preservation, security and accessibility of archive material.
Meetings are held on a monthly basis with lecturers being invited along to speak on a variety of interesting subjects. We organise visits and events for Society members and interested members of the general public.
We are continually developing our printed material and other works for the use of Society members and, where practical, extend this to the general public. You will find a list of publications through the links on the left.
We hold a library of local and general reference books for use by the Society's members. Please see full details on the library page.
The Society publishes a journal four times a year, containing reports on meetings, members' articles, letters to the Editor, local developments and other useful information to aid in your research.
New members are always very welcome and we look forward to meeting you. You are very welcome to come along to one of our meetings, details of which can be found on your left.
We attend local Family History Fairs, where we have for sale our publications in 3 formats: booklet, microfiche and cd. A list of upcoming fairs can be found on the Latest News page.
Please look around our site and if you have any questions we would be only too pleased to hear from you.
