Publications

The Society maintains an active publications programme for the furtherance of research. Its publications include monographs in the Studies in History Series, the papers read before meetings of the Society in its Transactions, and a long-standing record series in the volumes of the Camden Series.

 

Transactions of the Royal Historical Society

The Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, published continually since 1872, comprises the papers read before the Society. Papers range from the annual Presidential address and the Prothero Lecture given by scholars at the height of the profession to papers given by younger scholars through the competitions sponsored by the Society. The Society encourages papers of a more reflective and wide-ranging nature than the standard journal fare.

Papers are given by invitation only. A set of Instructions for Contributors is available.
