 Historical Note

Haworth is a village in Northern England where Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Brontë lived. It also served as the setting for their novels. The Brontë Parsonage Museum, founded in 1893, collected ephemera relating to the Brontë family as well as Haworth village history.

 Scope and Contents

The Haworth, England and Brontë Sisters Ephemera is comprised of materials on locations associated with Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Brontë, including Stanbury and Haworth, England. The photographs, postcards, and clippings focus on the Haworth Parsonage. Also included is a letter from Brontë family expert Jonas Bradley explaining some of the locations associated with the Brontës, and a listing of enclosures which suggest many of the items in the collection came from him.
