Publications

All published volumes are carefully edited, comprehensively indexed and include introductions explaining the background to the documents they present. They are attractively produced and uniformly bound in soft covers.

The majority of past volumes are available for purchase. Members may purchase back numbers at the normal members' rate. Non-members may purchase individual volumes (subject to availability) at £25.00 each. Postage and Packing within the UK is £2.50. Volume 1 is no longer available.

Where a volume has been published as two parts a 10% discount will apply if both parts are purchased. The price is therefore £45.00 rather than £50.00. This applies to volumes 6 and 7, volumes 9 and 10 and volumes 11 and 12.

The newly published Berkshire Probate Index is in three parts and is available from the Society c/o Berkshire Record Office, 9 Coley Avenue, Reading, Berkshire RG1 6AF.

  • Part 1: Index of Personal Names
  • Part 2: Index of Place Names
  • Part 3: Index of Occupations

The three volumes are only available as a set. The normal price for the set will be £75 but a special price of £55 will apply until 31 December 2011. UK Postage - £6. (Please enquire for overseas rates)

The next volume to appear will be Dr Harry Leonard’s edition of the three surviving diaries of Robert Lee of Binfield, together with his correspondence for the period 1735-1744. Lee was an active justice in south-east Berkshire and his three surviving diaries contain notes of his judicial business as well a record of his social life in Berkshire, London and Somerset, where he managed the estates of his uncle, William Trumbull of Easthampstead Park. The edition is supplemented by the text of over 130 letters written by Lee during this period, and supported by an extensive appendix containing biographical details of many of the individuals prominent in the pages of the diaries.
