Sites

Papers concerning individual sites in which the Trust had involvement, either as formal nature reserves, under management agreements or as sites of potential interest 1933-2012. Most files contain correspondence, maps, management plans and minutes.

The 'Sites' subfonds is arranged in chronological order of the date of the Trust's formal acquisition of a site, or the formalisation of their involvement in a management agreement site.

Records are open to the public, subject to the overriding provisions of relevant legislation, including data protection laws. 24 hours' notice is required to access photographic material.

The majority of site files were deposited with the Borthwick Institute by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust in 2013. Further deposits were made in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Some files contain additional audiovisual material on compact disc, as well as data files on floppy disc. Access to such material may be restricted due to technical requirements; please contact the Borthwick Institute in advance.
