Archives of the Society
This page covers the archives of the society which are being moved to or created in our Digital Archive and Catalogue on a separate website on https://derwentfells.org.uk. as outlined in the next section below. The archives of the society are those items which the society has published over its thirty years (see the publications page), plus records of the society itself, plus collections of photographs collected, oral histories created, and other original material collected.
For the time being the archived publications, including the Greenwood county maps from 1821 (scroll to the end of this page), are also included on this site and are accessible through the links as follows:-
The Wanderer is our current quarterly publication.
The Journal , formerly the Newsletter was published twice a year until August 2017.

Our Projects page describes some of the Society's projects over its thirty years.
Our Features page contains miscellaneous information on past society activities.
Our Digital Archive and Catalogue - February 2024
In February 2024 the Society launched its new Digital Archive and Catalogue on https://derwentfells.org.uk. This site has been established to provide an enduring archive of the publications of the Society over its thirty-plus years, and to make available much of its collection of archival material, such as digitised photographs. Search facilities are provided.
The Greenwood maps
The Society provides the Greenwood county maps of Cumberland and Westmorland at the original scale to view, download, and use freely. These maps were surveyed in 1821-3 at one inch to the mile. Click the image above to go to the Greenwood page.
