Hello Rachel,
In association with the Keighley & District Local History Society we are trying to collect together Keighley's educational history and would love to help preserve the Boys' Grammar archives. We have a website www.keighleyschools.co.uk
Regards, David

Hi Rachel. I rang you a few weeks ago hoping to call at the school and see photos, magazines etc. You said then that you would try to trace 57-60 stuff. I see you are still trying. Could you let us know on this site when you have any success so I can ring again and arrange to see it.
Thanks
Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1954-59

Dave Boddy and I would also be interested in calling-in to see what Rachel has found and, so as not to waste her time, wonder if a single co-ordinated visit could be arranged rather than individuals arranging to visit at different times?
Would it be possible to provide a time and date via this post?
Sorry i haven't been in touch for a while - exam season and all that!
Any of you are welcome to comie in and have a root through the Archive. If you give me a ring at the school I will be happy to arrange a time with you. As someone did mention they some of the Keighlians are very wordy and can take some getting through.
Don't suppose there is any chance of borrowing a handful of items at a time so I can digitise them and hopefully preserve them for posterity? If not if you could find a room for me fore a couple of hours each time. We did this with the KGGS archive and now have over 1,000 photos plus school magazine, prize giving, scrapbooks etc.
