Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Frank Hays apparently lived and worked in the small Nottinghamshire community of Jacksdale. No biographical detail is available about him, beyond what can be gleaned from the remains of his personal archive, which records his purchase of land for a house at Jacksdale in 1890, and provides information about other family members. The papers show that he had an interest in local historical research and occasionally gave talks through the Co-operative movement on a variety of topics.
Arrangement
Material is arranged according to form (e.g. historical papers, family papers), and then ordered chronologically.
