I have been asked to write to you on behalf of ALAN POWELL our YFHS
Chairman and his message is as follows:
“It is with great regret that I have to report the closure of our YFHS
Research Room at the Raylor Centre in James Street, York.
The Society has been a tenant at the Raylor Centre for the past twenty
years.
Although the cost of renting remains reasonable – it has proved too much
of a drain on our limited resources.
Therefore, the doors of the YFHS Research Room will close for the final
time on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20 2025 at 4pm.
However, from JANUARY 2026 and for a trial period of six-months, we will
continue to offer family history support at the following places:
Every MONDAY at THE FAMILY HISTORY ROOM at YORK CENTRAL LIBRARY, MUSEUM
STREET, YORK. YO1 7DS.
Every FRIDAY at THE BORTHWICK INSTITUTE FOR ARCHIVES at the UNIVERSITY
OF YORK. YO10 5DD.
Further information including dates and times will be
announced in due course.
I wish all our members the compliments of the season and thank you for
your continued support.
Alan”
