The main aims of the LI is to provide an easy source of reference for researchers studing information in the Leeds area. It is difficult to locate records in a City of such a large size. Areas are not always known to researchers; Churches have similar / sometimes the same name; some of the records have been indexed, some have not. Records can be located in Public Libraries, Archives, Private collections and sometimes with private individuals. The aim of the LI is to try and establish a directory of information available and localities the information can be viewed. The LI are also actively indexing records that will be useful to both Family and Local Historians. Because the Site and Organisation are relatively new, a great deal of work and research still needs to be gathered for this site to function correctly.

Please bear with us. The Site is in its infancy and there is a great deal of information to add.
