Yorkshire Antiquarians

The study of the past has been governed by the philosophies of those who studied it. These approaches have changed through time. Yorkshire contains a large number of influential antiquarians from the 17th century. The day-school will explore the work of a number of these, and their contribution to understanding the past.
