British Record Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Record Society The British Record Society is a British learned society that focuses on publishing historic records, or, more specifically, indexes to such records. In recent years, the Society has concentrated on the publication of name indexes to English probate records, and the texts of 17th-century Hearth Tax returns. ==Foundation and early history== The Society was founded in 1889 to take over the Index Library, which had begun life the previous year as W.P.W. Phillimore's private scheme for the publication of indexes to British public records, which is now the brief of the List and Index Society. The Society was also always interested in record conservation, and to act as what would now be called a pressure group for archives and their users, pushing for the creation of county record offices and county record societies. The inception of an official series of Lists and Indexes in 1892 reduced the need for private publication of indexes to records in the Public Record Office. The Society consequently turned its attention to records held in other repositories. In 1898 the Society’s Scottish section became the totally independent Scottish Record Society. In 1933 the Society’s Record Preservation Section similarly took off to become the germ of the British Records Association (B.R.A).
