At the "Root Cellar" we have a large library resource
which is available for individuals, to help with their research. We have
both a lending section and a reference only section. We have just
completed a reorganisation of the library and have decided to publish
the library list on the website. Click on this link to open the
Root Cellar Library List to view or print the list as
you wish.
We also have a very large library of micro fiches and
films at the Root Cellar which are also available for individuals to use
at the Root Cellar, to help with their research. The list of these
resources will shortly be available on this website.
We have just added
Holmfirth Methodist Circuit Fiche to the library, click on
the title to see the full list.

online shop.
The online shop is administered via the PayPal Secure Site.

The Following are the society's most recent publications.
Birstall, St Peters Baptisms.
1856-1862, 1863-1870, 1871-1878,
1879-1890, 1891-1913.
Now available, all at just £2.50 each.
Now available on CD, "Remarkable
Occurrences and Interesting Dates". This book was
first issued in 1890 and was a sort of "readers digest" of its day. Our computer data co-ordinator,
Peter Middleton has now completed the transference of the book
onto CD, and it is available for purchase from Publication Sales, or at
the Root Cellar, priced at just £10.00.
The Library Sessions and Workshops.
The series of workshops and sessions being held at various
libraries in and around Kirklees have continued well. These are primarily
designed for beginners but using the technology available at the
libraries, the structure becomes more flexible and we have been able to
demolish some fairly substantial brick walls.
Click on the respective links to go to the
Library Sessions page
or the Workshops page
for the full list of sessions and workshops planned.
