Guest TheBotanical Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 As a few of you may know, I am a mature student at Hallam in my second year. I have been given a research project to study The Society called the Holberry Society which I believe was created in the late 1970's. I understand that the secretary of the society died a few years ago and I have had no luck in contacting John Baxter, whom I believe played a big part in the Society. I'm off to the City Library tomorrow (I'm local) to see what I kind find out about the Society. One thing I have managed to do is to purchase a small pamphlet of the Society which was published in 1978. I'll see if I can post it on here. Any advice or heads up would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall buying that pamphlet in my rebellious youth - I also remember buying this also this one by John Baxter about the 1844 Miners Strike. http://www.amazon.co.uk/WELL-MASTERS-NOW-SHEFFIELD-YORKSHIRE/dp/0948987014 http://www.amazon.co.uk/WELL-MASTERS-NOW-SHEFFIELD-YORKSHIRE/dp/0948987014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Anyone up for the newly invented position of "Transcription Fairie" ? All applicants welcome, lots of opportunites, no pay or prospects ... eternal gratitude on offer from those of us with not-so-good eyesight !

Guest TheBotanical Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Historically important. Thank you. I'm still typing these up as we speak Richard. To be honest I'm struggling. Some sentences I can't complete at all. Once I've types them up I'll post and reference them as they are on the letter, for example HS1 and so on.
