The Thoresby Society is the historical society for the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, and the surrounding district. It was founded in 1889 and named after the historian of Leeds, Ralph Thoresby (1658–1725). The Society takes its name from Ralph Thoresby (1658–1725), the first historian of Leeds and a pioneer in the field of local history. It was founded in 1889 and by the end of that year had 172 subscribers. By 1912 this had grown to 397, and by 1986 reached 528. The society's activities have included publication of transcriptions of local records and of original research, lectures, and "the educational and social pleasures of imaginatively organised excursions" (423 of which took place in its first 100 years).
