LETTERS from the famous Bronte sisters and their friends form part of a new website.

Among the Bronte correspondence are letters written by Charlotte Bronte on her deathbed including one to her friend Amelia Ringrose.

The letters on-line form part of a new women's history project His to Her Story.

The website contains archive material relating to women through the ages and the role they have played in history.

Ruth Sharpe, project co-ordinator, said to read these letters was a opportunity to learn about the Brontes in their own words and gain an insight into the personalities of these remarkable women.

The Bronte Parsonage Museum, at Haworth is open seven days a week and can be contacted on 01535 642323.

The website address is: www.historytoherstory.org.uk
