• DO YOU WANT TO HELP?  We are currently coming towards the end of the 2023/24 lecture season and thoughts are turning towards 2024/25 which will start in November following the AGM in October. If you have attended any talks which fall under the heading industrial archaeology, industrial history, social history related to Sheffield and or South Yorkshire manufacturing and trades which you think would be of interest to members we would like to know.  Our aim is to develop a list of possible contacts for future talks and events. Do you know of any speakers, friends or colleagues who could share their knowledge and enthusiasm for industrial history? Are there Society members who are willing to speak on any relevant subject either from personal experience or research you may have carried out? Speaker details (name, address, telephone number, email) together with subject and a brief description of a talk can be forwarded to secretary@syihs.co.uk
