Church of England Record Society



Publications

‘An invaluable source for ecclesiastical history … a highly important record series’,
English Historical Review.

The Church of England Record Society publishes a series of primary sources for the history of the Church of England since the Reformation. These range from formal, official records, such as the Canons of the Church of England, to letters and diaries of individual churchmen. The Society aims to produce one volume each year, edited by a scholar expert in the field. Each volume includes an annotated text, prefaced by an introduction assessing the importance of the source and placing it in its historical context. The series is edited by Professor Stephen Taylor of the University of Reading. All prospective publications are submitted to a process of academic peer review.

The Societies publications provide an invaluable resource for:
  • Libraries with holdings on British and European history - ecclesiastical, social and political
  • Post-graduates working in these areas of research
  • Anyone with a broad interest in the history of the Church of England
Members automatically receive the Society's annual publication on payment of their annual subscription. Back volumes may be purchased at a substantial discount.
