The annual Local History Book Fair, hosted by East Riding Archives and Local Studies Service, now in its 25th year, will once again be held at the Beverley Treasure House on Saturday, 17 September.
The event will be opened by Councillor Chad Chadwick, vice-chairman of the council, accompanied by his wife, Councillor Margaret Chadwick.
Over the years, the book fair has provided a meeting point and focus for local and family history enthusiasts from all walks of life, who have an interest in their heritage.
Approximately 30 organisations will be participating in the event, including East Riding of Yorkshire Archives and Local Studies Service, museums and library services, local history societies, family history societies and other specialist interest organisations relating to the region.
There will also be publishers, booksellers and book binders, helping to encompass the full range of local studies and family history resources available in the area.
The event provides a unique opportunity to buy a wide range of books, old and new, pamphlets, maps and other ephemera produced by these organisations, as well as the chance to mix and mingle with the experts of the region.
The book fair is open, from 10am-4pm, with free admission is and refreshments available upstairs in the Gallery Two Coffee Lounge.
