Catalogue Description

National Farmers' Union (North Riding and Durham County Branch)

The National Farmers' Union is organised in a pyramidal structure with the national headquarter at the apex. Nine regions, including the North-East Region, come below the headquarters and within each region there are county branches. The North-East Region has five county branches - North Riding and Durham, Northumberland, York, Yorkshire (East Riding) and Yorkshire (North Riding). Within each county branch there are a number of local branches in groups containing one to four branches administered by a group secretary.

In the Durham area before 1973 there were two county branches - (i) Durham and (ii) North Riding & South Durham. On 1 February 1973 these amalgamated to form the North Riding and Durham County Branch. The North Riding and Durham County Branch currently (1998) has 30 local branches in 13 groups.

The catalogue has been structured as follows:

D/NFU 1/ North Riding and South Durham County Branch records
D/NFU 2/ Durham County Branch records
D/NFU 3/ North Riding and Durham County Branch records
D/NFU 4/ Local Branch/Sub-Branch minutes and other records
D/NFU 5/ National Farmers' Union printed items
D/NFU 6/ Records of other organisations associated with the county or local branches of the National Farmers' Union

Within the first three sections the branch minutes precede any financial records which are then followed by any printed branch publications and then by correspondence files extracted as samples from the files series.
