Hi Jeanette,
In reply to your query on the mags
I can add one or two to your list as I am owner, editor, compiler or sub to
the following.
Yorkshire History Quarterly, a journal for local history, archaeology,
family history and heritage topics, dealing only with material relevant to
the ancient County of Yorkshire's three ridings.
Lancashire History Quarterly, journal for local history, archaeology,
family history and heritage topics, dealing only with material relevant to
the ancient County Palatine of Lancashire.
The Yorkshire journal is now seeking subscriptions for the fifth volume.
The Lancashire journal is now seeking subscriptions for the third volume.
Issues are in A4 format, 48 pages, contains a wide range of topics with
illustrations. Its content is designed to appeal to a broad readership,
experts and amateurs alike. Subscription rates in UK are £14.00 per annum,
post paid.
The journal exists to publish new works by new and established writers,
articles that are often not considered suitable for the 'glossies' or the
academic journals are always welcome. Phil Hudson the editor hopes to
encourage students and local enthusiasts to write about the history of
their local areas, villages, buildings, families, agriculture, old
industries, mills etc. A booklet 'Writing for Lancashire or Yorkshire
History' has been prepared as an aid to those wishing to contribute. If
you are interested and need to discuss anything do feel free to write in or
to phone Phil on 01729 825773 anytime. e.mail
