Bradford Local Studies Library

A real hidden treasure. I've literally walked past Local Studies countless times. I had no idea of the wealth of references and historical resources held at the location, both with respect to the library and the staff. The team are fantastic and there's no doubt that they're passionate about what they do. If I lived locally, I'd be here every spare moment. Highly recommended.

The Bradford Local Studies Library, located in Bradford, UK, is a treasure trove for those interested in the city's rich history and heritage. It houses an extensive collection of resources, including historical books, maps, photographs, newspapers, and manuscripts, offering invaluable insights into the social, cultural, and economic past of Bradford and its surrounding areas. The library supports researchers, genealogists, and history enthusiasts with its well-curated archives and knowledgeable staff. Regular exhibitions, workshops, and community events further enhance its role as a hub for local history and learning.

I would like to thank the lovely helpful staff of the library and archive records area for all the help with my research. We only had 3 days and with their help we found some information on family members who lived in the area. Thank you!
