Digital Series


With the launch of our new website, the Society is also launching a new series of Publications – The Digital Series.  These digitally available documents are being made freely available to both members and the wider public for download.  Our hope is this becomes a growing archive of materials published by ourselves and local history groups.

For optimum viewing experience we recommend opening these documents with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
