The Archives’ holdings include unique and rich primary documentation related to local families of Yorkshire origin.

The exhibition also included historical and contemporary art- works depicting the local landscape from the Owens Permanent Collection by the artists John Hammond, John Grey, Edward Pulford, Margaret Chipman, Thaddeus Holownia and others. Passage to Safe Harbour was co-curated by Cheryl Ennals, University Archivist, and Gemey Kelly, Owens Art Gallery.
