During the project, local volunteers will bring the rich heritage of the society to people in the Wakefield area and beyond through colourful events, including talks and displays, and by setting up an online archive.
This will be a new and valuable resource for local historians, ancestry researchers, gardeners, schools and anyone who wants to hear stories from the past and learn about what kind of people lived in the Wakefield area and what their lives were like. It will give a voice to people from the past and conserve the memories of local people for future generations.
We've had a makeover!

Well here it is... the new and improved tulip society website! The main pages are up and running, and we hope to add lots of new and interesting features over the coming months.
The new website offers more flexibility for publishing articles and the ability to add other interactive elements.
Hopefully everything works as it should but if you spot any issues please let us know.
