Archive & collections

All the Group's materials are stored at the Stokesley Globe Public Library. These 49 files are available for viewing; further files will be added as the collection grows.

If you wish to photocopy any of the contents of a file, please ask the Library Assistant. For more information on what's in a file, contact the Group.

Example content. Grouping the files into themes is a suggestion for this concept; the original site lists them as one numbered list. In the full site each file could have a page describing its contents.
