East Yorkshire Family History Society

Reviewed By NicolaD914 - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom

We attended the one of the family history sessions at the Carnegie Heritage Centre whilst on annual leave from work as it was the only way to further our research. It is difficult when you work full time as all the sessions are during the day. We knew that they held local family history sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays when members of the public can access the society’s records and facilities. You can also pick the knowledge of experts from the local history societies and you can access Ancestry online for free. You just pay any printing/photocopying costs. There are boxes full of records of Hull’s old churches and schools which we wanted to look at. We were hoping for a ‘eureka’ moment but sadly not on this occasion! We spent an interesting couple of hours there though. Sadly our time was cut short as they were expecting a school trip to visit and we were asked to finish up by 1pm. It is a beautiful building both inside and out so well worth a visit!

Brynmor Jones Library

Reviewed By KirstyB1987Hull

More accessible now to the general public than when I studied at the university (grad. 2012), which I think is lovely. Cafe now accessible, as well as some of the meeting rooms and a gallery on the ground floor. Above there for the students and others granted permission, there is a great selection of books and journals, with better and better views as you make your way up until you reach the 8th and top floor, from which you can see most of the city. Most people can get a pass for the library, with some cost associated for certain groups.

This information centre is so well located in the foyer of the Railway/Bus Interchange and bristling with leaflets galore on the City and area around Hull. With staff who are helpful and efficient.
