A spirited Yorkshirewoman

Anne Lister – need we say more??

They’re here at last!  I’ve been working in Calderdale Libraries and I’ve never seen them before. They’re here.  In the flesh, so to speak.  A selection of Anne Lister’s Diaries and letters are on display in our Central Library & Archives in Halifax, courtesy of the West Yorkshire Archive Service

To complement the display of Anne’s diaries and letters we have a display of information and items from our local studies collection, including maps, books and pamphlets.  In our Horsfall Turner collection, we also have some unique items, including Muriel M Green’s unpublished thesis, A spirited Yorkshirewoman: The Letters of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall, Halifax: 1791-1840.

Call in to our Central Library Local Studies section and my colleagues and I are here to help with your Anne Lister related queries.  For example, where was Ann Walker’s real Crow Nest House?
