Official podcast of the Ridings of Yorkshire Society hosted by Jonny Farley and Sam Wright. Each episode invites researchers, professionals, academics and amateurs across a breadth of disciplines to discuss their work on an aspect of Yorkshire heritage.
The Ridings of Yorkshire Society was established in 2021 by a group of PhD candidates who hoped to provide a platform for people researching Yorkshire heritage to be able to share it with others in the field as well as the public.

On this episode Jonny and Sam are joined by another previous ROYS presenter, Dr Stefan Ramsden. Stef talks to them about his career as a historian and in particular his current role within the Our Heritage, Our Stories project which is a joint collaboration between the Universities of Manchester and Glasgow and the National Archives. The project focusses on making previously unfindable and unlinkable CGDC discoverable within the national collection, while respecting and embracing its complexity and diversity by designing sophisticated automated tools to make it searchable and connected. Revealing and commemorating the previously hidden voices and stories of diverse communities across the UK, this new accessibility will be showcased to the world through a major new public-facing Observatory at TNA where people can access, reuse, and remix this newly integrated content. You can keep up to date with Stef’s work by following him on Twitter/X as @Ramblesed.
