Marshall Papers (University of Leeds)

The University of Leeds Special Collections is currently working in collaboration with the UCLA Digital Library Program to digitise the business records of Marshall & Co, Leeds. These records cover the period 1788-c1900, documenting the life and work of one of Leeds' largest textile firms of the nineteenth century and the family who owned it.

The project will involve the cataloguing and digitization of all the records of the company as well as the creation of a website to allow public access to these documents. The site will be hosted by UCLA and be freely available to researchers as a valuable research tool on for social, technological and industrial history in the period of the Industrial Revolution and the decades that followed.
