Norfolk Record Society

The Norfolk Record Society (NRS) was established in 1930^[1] as a scholarly text publication society to publish historical documents relating to the history of Norwich and the county of Norfolk, England. The Society's objectives were to encourage the study and preservation of historical records relating to Norfolk.

The society is registered as a charity. Its membership is drawn mainly from East Anglia; however, individuals and institutions from around the world are also members.

History[]

The Society was founded in 1930. It has published annually a transcript of a significant and sometimes unusual manuscript or collection of manuscripts. The series now covers a time-span ranging from the 12th to 20th centuries. All publications are carefully edited, indexed and include introductions explaining the background of the documents they present.

The Society continues to publish on a wide range of subjects and encourages new researchers and members to submit ideas for future publications.

Activities[]

The Society holds an annual lecture in conjunction with its annual publication launch.
