History
History
The Society was founded in 1930. It has published annually a transcript of a significant and sometimes unusual manuscript or collection of manuscripts. In the 1950s consideration was given to broadening the scope of the society to encompass Suffolk as the Norfolk and Suffolk Records Society. However, concerns were felt that unless the publishing schedule of the body could be doubled, each county would have to wait for two years instead of one until the next book relating to their county was made available. This led to the foundation of the Suffolk Records Society as a separate and independent bofy.
