The Ripon Historical Society And Family History Group
Founded in 1987, the Ripon Historical Society is actively concerned with all aspects of the City of Ripon and the surrounding area from Masham to South Stainley and from Skelton-on-Ure to Nidderdale. This is roughley the area covered by the ancient Ripon Liberty.
The area covered for Family History is shown in the list of parishes set out below and is for people interested in their family history within the area and for those living locally whose ancestry is elsewhere.
The library and research material for the Society is held at the Ripon Local Studies Research Centre. It is available for consultation between the hours of 10am and 4pm from Monday to Friday. The centre is manned by volunteers and itis advisable to phone before calling, especially if travelling from a distance.
