Teachers

The following source list was originally available only on paper in one of the West Yorkshire Archive Service offices. It may have been compiled many years ago and could be out of date. It was designed to act as a signpost to records of interest on a particular historical subject, but may relate only to one West Yorkshire district, or be an incomplete list of sources available.

The WYAS does not hold a comprehensive series of records on teachers, either personnel records or details on their appointments. General information about new appointments, staff absences etc may be found in school log-books, and individual items such as those described below may contain additional detail.
