Huguenot Society

Publications

The Proceedings of the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the Society’s annual journal, is distributed to Fellows and Subscribing Libraries at the beginning of October. Papers read at the Society's meetings are published in the Proceedings, together with other articles relevant to Huguenot history. Book reviews, short miscellaneous pieces, and information about current research and conferences are also included.

The Quarto Series, begun in 1887, has been published in 61 occasional volumes, many of which contain transcripts or translations of the registers of Huguenot churches. A good number of the Quarto Series, especially the parish records, are now out of print and difficult to obtain, even on the second hand market.  For this reason, Council decided to make some of the more important volumes available on CD-ROM and the project was launched in 2004. The Editorial Committee encourages research into material suitable for publication in the Quarto Series and new titles will be available shortly.  Order via Quarto or CD-ROM link.

THE NEW GENERAL INDEX TO THE PROCEEDINGS AND QUARTO SERIES
was published in 2011 as an update and companion to the Master Index published in 1998. Both of these books may be ordered via the Quarto Series link, but an electronic version of the 420-page New General Index is now available on this website.

Please read the following information before downloading the file:

The New General Index lists the subjects and editors for all the Huguenot Society Quarto Series volumes, as well as the topics, titles and authors of all Proceedings articles from 1885 until 2007, including book reviews. It also gives all the names of individuals which appear in Proceedings from 1986, although individuals’ names from 1885 to 1985 are more fully covered in the Master Index. They can also be found in the fully-searchable electronic version of the Proceedings, 1885-2007, currently accessible to Huguenot Society members through the Members' Area of this website.

Please consult the New General Index preface for key to abbreviations.

Huguenot Families was launched in 1999 as a forum for research into genealogy and family history and was made available to both Fellows of the Society and members of the public. The March 2009 issue, number 20, was the final one of the series, and included a list of contents of the complete set of 20 issues as well as additional aids for finding genealogical material in the Society’s publications and the Huguenot Library holdings.
