• The John Goodchild Collection Wed 29th May 2024
  This Artwalk, come and see our new exhibition showcasing the John Goodchild Collection. This collection came into the care of the West Yorkshire Archive Service in 2017. It is believed to be one of the largest private collections relating to Yorkshire collected by a single individual. John’s passion for preserving our heritage has left us with an unrivalled and rich resource for anyone interested in the history of Yorkshire. For the first time, West Yorkshire Archive Service will be showcasing some of the treasures and curiosities from this important local collection. Take a look at our cabinet of curiosities, browse the books in John’s Corner or try your hand at writing with a feather quill.
