There are a number of active local history groups and societies in Sheffield dedicated to the history of a particular place or district. This includes a number of charitable groups that formed to care for some of the city’s closed and once neglected cemeteries. These groups and societies have often collected a range of records relevant to their interests and are happy to help with queries from researchers where they can.
