I have panoramas for 1936 (quite damaged), 1946, 1954, 1958 and 1964 at Oakbank. I scan these in four or five sections and 'stitch' them together so they are quite big files but at least preserved. Have started putting the few copies of Keighlian into pdf booklets. I am on kirkwoodale@yahoo.co.uk
In the old school, the panorama school photos were displayed on the walls of the corridors. Some copies of these are displayed on this site - but there is not a full set. It would be a wonderful discovery if the missing years are in the collection that Rachel speaks of.
Terry, I have a copy of the 1964 panorama which my brother gave me to upload onto the site. It must surely have been the very last one at the old school. However, the technological wizadry required to accomplish that feat is beyond the skills of this particular OB. Maybe you can explain how to do it when we meet next week?

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

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.
