The South
Wales Record Society 
The South Wales Record Society was established in 1982 and exists to publish
a regular series of texts and other works relating to the history of South
Wales, and in particular to the historic counties of Glamorgan and
Monmouthshire.
Such publications allow original source
materials that would otherwise only be accessible in archives and libraries
to be examined by a wider readership. Each text is provided with a scholarly
introduction, notes, bibliography, and other glossaries and appendices which
enable the original source to be placed in its historical context.
For a subscription of £5 payable annually in April, members of the Society,
either individuals or institutions, are entitled to buy its publications at a
substantial discount and are kept informed of new publications and of the
Society's meetings.
