Oxfordshire Record Society

The Oxfordshire Record Society was founded in 1919. Hence, 2019 marks one hundred years of publishing primary sources for the history of Oxfordshire and raising awareness and understanding of this vital evidence of the county across a wide range of periods and themes.

The society aims to publish a volume a year. The volumes appear in hard covers, and are carefully prepared by specialists in their subject. Each volume contains a substantial historical introduction to the edited text and a full index. One copy is issued free of charge to each member - both individual members and institutional subscribers.

The society welcomes new subscribers whose support is essential to continuing our work during the next hundred years. Besides the satisfaction of supporting the publication of Oxfordshire’s historical records, subscribers receive a copy of our annual volumes and may attend the AGM and events. Membership forms can be downloaded from the society's website.

The Oxfordshire Record Society's website contains full details of the range of the society's publications and activities. Since, 1919, the society has published 73 volumes, many of which are still in print and available for purchase. Volume 72 onwards can be bought from Boydell & Brewer, whilst those earlier volumes that are not out of print can be obtained direct from the society.
