Some Business Archives, Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 24 February 08 09:06 GMT (UK) »
I just came across this site whilst searching for business archives for my family.

I'm not sure how to get hold of the information they have, but it might be of interest to Yorkshire based family history.

Maintained by Archives and Special Collections, Brynmor Jones Library
This is what is says about the collection:

These web pages aim to draw together details of the business records held within the wide-ranging archival collections of the Brynmor Jones Library, with a view to highlighting the potential resources available for research in this area. The companies are mostly of Hull and East Yorkshire significance. However others, such as Ellerman's Wilson Line have a wider national and international importance. The material varies from complete collections to individual items.

Hi Wincolmlee,
Hope it turns out to be of some use.

Hi Jill,
I think it mentions on the site, that it is part of Hull university. I wish I could find something similar at UNIS (Surrey University), it's closer to home.
