Administrative history
Friends of York City Archives was founded in around the year 2000 by volunteers with the City Archives service. The main aim was to support the archives service in general terms, and to keep the archives of the City of York in the city-centre, ideally in a new purpose-built archives service. This aim was achieved when the new service opened at York Explore Library on 5th January 2015, and as such, the Friends Group formally disbanded in 2018.
The group still meets occasionally for social purposes, and has run series of lectures, talks and workshops for members from its inception.
