IntroductionRecords of Buckinghamshire has been published annually by the Buckinghamshire Archaeological Society since 1854, five years after the society’s foundation in 1847. The journal covers the full range of the county’s local history and archaeology. The whole archive is available from the ADS, with the exception of the four most recently published volumes at any one time. A fully searchable index is provided on the society’s own website . Other publications by the society are available – in digital and printed form – through the society’s website.
The digitisation of the Records of Buckinghamshire archive is thanks to the volunteer teamwork of society members John Dodd, Marion Wells, Phil Clapham, Mike Faircloth, Janet Rothwell, Andrew Muir, John Sheldon, Marian Miller, Diane Hodges, Gary Marshall, Sarah Tricks, Terry Bloxham, Doug Stuckey, Kevin Quick and Peter Marsden. This project was funded thanks to a grant from the HS2 Community Fund.
The Buckinghamshire Archaeological Society (BAS) is a registered charity (number 310525) and the county’s premier society not just for archaeology but also local history, architecture, natural history and historic buildings. The society’s objects are the protection and defence of Buckinghamshire’s historic environment, the preservation of local archives on history and archaeology, support for the county museum (Discover Bucks Museum) whose collections the society started, and an active watch where planning issues affect our heritage.
