Welcome!

Nowthen.org makes available community heritage collections and offers support, networking and guidance. You can explore West Yorkshire through the experiences of the people who live here, add your own story, listen and share memories and view photographs. Access the network area to promote your group and discuss with others. Make use of our resources and accreditation scheme to support your groups activities and projects.

The West Yorkshire Archive Service (WYAS) exists to preserve the local heritage of historical documents and to help members of the public make use of them. The Service has offices in Wakefield, Bradford, Calderdale (Halifax), Kirklees (Huddersfield) and Leeds. Anyone interested in the history of West Yorkshire, who would like to discover what records have survived, is welcome to visit any of our offices. WYAS hosts and supports the development of the nowthen.org site.
