The Journal.
The Huddersfield and District Family History
Society Journal, is a quarterly booklet that comes out in January, April, July
and October and is posted directly to our members. It is included in the
membership of the Society and is produced by a
Journal editor and a sub editor.
The Journal is a medium for:
Members to send in letters and articles
on family or local history, requests for research help, good sources of
information and hints and tips.
The committee to keep our members informed of
what is happening in the society, eg, AGM report, changes to the committee or
constitution.
Reporting additions to the library, additions
to the transcriptions of births, marriages and deaths etc.
To publish talk reviews from our
monthly
Society meetings, and book reviews.
A new member is listed in the first
journal after joining the society, together with their membership number,
address and email address. Telephone numbers are never published. New members
can also send in for publication, a list of their interests (which families they
are researching and during which period). These are usually printed as central
pages so that they can be extracted if needed by the reader and kept separately.
If someone joins mid year, they are
entitled to receive past journals for that year. New members will also receive a
library list, a
publications list, details of
searches available, and search
request forms.
The Journal editor welcomes appropriate
letters or articles on any aspect of family or local history, and items with
relevance to Kirklees area are particularly welcome. Also welcome are cuttings,
hints and tips, useful sources of information, illustrations and photographs. If
sending in an illustration or photograph, please send either the original or a
scanned image on disc. It is important to state if an article has been submitted
to another publication. Items sent can only be returned if an SAE is included.
Editing of articles may be necessary, depending on available space. Submissions
should be clearly handwritten or typed in MS Works or Word, and submitted on
floppy disc or preferably on CD-ROM. If typed please use a plain font such as
Arial, Times or Courier, so that it can easily be scanned into the Journal.
