- Local libraries, local study centres and archives are a good place to start your research and hold a range of primary and secondary records – such as historic documents and published place-based histories. Visit your local library service website to see what is available locally to you. Visit the West Yorkshire Archive Service website to search their online catalogue.
- Historic maps are full of information and can help date heritage assets. They can be viewed online via the National Library of Scotland website West Yorkshire Tithe Maps – gone again….
- Historic photos can be useful to understand the significance of heritage assets. There may be websites local to you which hold old photos. For example Leodis by Leeds Libraries has a good collection for Leeds.
- The West Yorkshire Historic Environment Record may have information about your nomination, and you can search their records through the Heritage Gateway website.
- Your nomination is also a good way to log local knowledge particularly in terms of what heritage assets mean to local communities. So include local stories and communal significance in your nominations.
