Supplementary List Of The Boys And Girls, Teachers, And Officers Of Ackworth School For The 21 1⁄2 Years., (Paperback)

An intimate directory from one of England's most storied Quaker schools. A vital reference for researchers. Joseph Spence Hodgson's Supplementary List of the Boys and Girls, Teachers, and Officers of Ackworth School for the 21 1/2 Years is a compact, rigorous historical school register that records pupils, teachers and officers attached to the Ackworth community across a formative span of Victorian England. Compiled as a supplementary roll, its entries set out names, dates of admission and departure, roles and occasional notes in a concise, searchable form. That plain practicality turns the register into a student and teacher directory, an alumni and faculty index and a dependable academic staff listings source: an invaluable genealogy research resource and family history reference for anyone tracing Quaker roots or the movement of staff through British educational institutions. Read as a set of Quaker school records, the list reveals the networks that sustained daily life at a faith-based school. As primary material for British educational history and the study of Victorian era schools, the volume sheds light on admission patterns, staff appointments and the informal ties between pupils and officers across 19th century England. Researchers consulting the Ackworth school archive use such registers to anchor broader narratives about pedagogy, community and social mobility; casual readers attracted to social history recognise the human fragments that lend texture to the era. The register's documentary clarity also appeals to collectors and archivists, who prize authentic entries that map institutional life without interpretation. The supplementary nature of the list means it often contains school officer listings and cross-references that help distinguish individuals with common names, making it especially useful where parish records are sparse. Its straightforward organisation is equally suited to manual study and to integration in digital family history projects. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
