This is a dummy run to see how we can develop WordPress
to serve YHWP – York History Working Papers.
If you’d like to get involved please email me at johnbibbyjohnbibby@gmail.com, ESPECIALLY if you have WordPress skills!

Initial objectives: To establish
- a coherent structure to manage and develop the project
- a website for publishing the Working Papers and commentaries thereon.
Proposed Management structure: (1) An Editorial Working Group (EWG) to encourage, develop and publish the Working Papers; (2), a Supervisory Working Group (SWG) to oversee the project and do everything else. (Membership will overlap. We may also need a Website Working Group (WWG), as well as a “Friends” group to receive regular newsletters – at least monthly and whenever a new WP is published.)
Guidance for writers:
- We encourage research on any topic relevant to the history of York and area.
- Most WPs will be
- between 2 and 20 pages long (1000-10,000 words)
- easily readable; not necessarily like a formal academic paper
- in Word or pdf format (although suitably documented videos, Powerpoint slides and databases are also acceptable)
- Typically, WPs may go through the following stages:
- Authors contact the EWG with a proposal and maybe an outline and/or first draft plus an image for use as an icon for the paper
- The EWG appoints someone to assist the author(s) in developing the paper into acceptable final form
- At least one EWG member recommends the paper for acceptance
- The paper appears on the YHWP website. (Unless otherwise agreed, copyright status will be xxxxxxxxx, with authors retaining all rights of authorship.)
- The EWG arranges suitable publicity together with the authors (e.g. press release, newsletter, …)
The website:
- A suitable YHWP domain name will be selected (e.g. yhwp.com). This can be used as an alias/shortcut even if the website is hosted by e.g. YAYAS and/or YPS.
- The home-page will include the following headings/links :
- What we are, who we are, and what we do
- Guidance for authors
- Recent papers (with summaries)
- Links to all papers
- How to contact us
- History groups in York/Upcoming events
- Each paper will receive a memorable shortform (e.g. yhwp.com/WP001 or yhwp.com/Smith001)
- Papers can be downloaded or read online
- Comments will be moderated and can be made either online or by email to e.g. yhwp.com/WP001
- Data will be kept on Hits etc; annual reports will be issued and stored online
- Authors and others will be invited to make donations to YHWP.
