Welcome to the website of the Ridings of Yorkshire Society.
ROYS is a group dedicated to researching celebrating Yorkshire’s past, and its researchers, across a variety of disciplines. The group was formed in 2021 by 6 PhD candidates at the University of Hull working on a variety of aspects of Yorkshire’s past. However, this isn’t a group for Hull students, or even just history students! ROYS is for anyone working on Yorkshire’s past, from any discipline or subject!
The 2025 ROYS Conference took place on Friday 6th June, at Scarborough Library.
Stay tuned for updates on ROYS activity through the year, and for details of the 2026 conference once we have them.
