Improving online access to Hull’s records of Quarter Sessions

Welcome to the latest edition of our Stories from the Strongrooms. Join us as I describe our project to improve online access to Hull’s records of quarter sessions. A project born out of the necessity of staff having to work from home during the pandemic.
In Hull City Archives at the Hull History Centre there is virtually an unbroken run of quarter session bundles dating from 1741-1971 taking up some 114 linear metres of shelving. Crucially, the records of quarter sessions reveal many aspects of life of the people of all ages and backgrounds in Hull during the late 18th to early 20th centuries. The scope of these records for research purposes is both fascinating and vast. There really is no end to their potential.
