  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

The Treasure Act relies on the time and expertise of many people across the country, including Finds Liaison Officers, funding partners and museum teams, who all deserve huge thanks for their hard work and contributions to the process. Finders and landowners are also at the heart of the Treasure Act and it’s brilliant to see 76 finders and landowners who donated their finds in 2018. I’d like to thank the Treasure Registry at the British Museum, the Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum of Wales and the Department of Environment and Ulster Museum in Northern Ireland for their continued work to support the delivery of the Treasure Act across the UK.

  • Index to Yorkshire Journal
    Index to Yorkshire Journal A full index to the previous year’s issues was published in each Spring issue from 1994 to 2004. It would be extremely time consuming to combine these annual indexes into a single master index, so the annual indexes are individually reproduced in the remainder of this document. Fortunately it is relatively simple to find all references using the search function in your reader – usually this is invoked by pressing the Cntrl and F keys simultaneously. No index exists for the last three 2004 issues, as publication ceased at the end of this year, Each reference is indexed by the issue number (in bold type) followed by the page number. The issue numbers are: Spring Summer Autumn Winter 1993 1 2 3 4 1994 5 6 7 8 1995 9 10 11 12 1996 13 14 15 16 1997 17 18 19 20 1998 21 22 23 24 1999 25 26 27 28 2000 29 30 31 32 2001 33 34 35 36 2002 37 38 39 40 2003 - 41 42 43 2004 44 45 46 47 There was also a trial issue (Winter 1992) referenced by 0 The following suffixes have been used to identify the different types of material being referenced: a an illustration: drawing, painting, etc p photograph cp cover photograph v verse dv dialect verse ss short story (R) book review For example, 2 110p refers to a photograph on page 110 of the summer 1993 issue.
