The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm.
The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month.

One of the many projects the Society is currently working on is the Gibson and Sutcliffe papers. The materials had been lying in a room at Croft House in Hebden Bridge, undisturbed for over 50 years. One collection belonged to Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee and the other to Sutcliffe & Sutcliffe, architects.
Members of the Society are also transcribing gravestones in Heptonstall churchyard, providing easy access to local information for genealogists.

Description
An account of the resource
Hepton R.D. Walker Lane C.R. (Unclas), Reconstruction works at Chiserley. Looking North at Methodist Church. "Before" photo taken 10/4/53. Although individual workers were rarely in a position to buy their own cottages, friendly societies and building clubs from the late 18th century onwards enabled them to build houses as a co-operative venture. Mutual-aid arrangements were particularly common in textile districts like Calderdale and a good example of such housing is Club Houses, which was built as an investment by a local funeral club to pay for burials of its members. A terrace of 6 cottages of two and three storeys, it has a doorway in the gable leading directly to the top storey which was used by the whole row as a communal handloom weaving shop.
