Publications
The Society's annual journal is the
Proceedings of the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland and it appears in October. Papers presented at each of the past year's four meetings are published in
Proceedings, together with further articles of relevance to Huguenot cultural, political, and economic history. Some of these contributions will have been written by Fellows, others may be the work of academic or independent associates.
A strong book review section covers recent publications in the field of Huguenot studies, and this is generally followed by miscellaneous news from the Huguenot descended community and items of information about ongoing research, anniversaries, or meetings. Reports in
Proceedings include developments in the
Huguenot Library, the activities of the Irish Section, and visits to places of particular Huguenot significance.
Huguenot Families:
Huguenot Families was first launched in 1999 as a half-yearly journal devoted to the encouragement and development of research into Huguenot genealogy and family history. It is available to both Fellows and members of the public.
Past articles in this journal have highlighted the documents through which family connections may be traced, such as extracts from local records or specific lists of names. Some of those sources can be found in the Society's Library, but
Huguenot Families has also drawn attention to information existing elsewhere and to useful material appearing in other publications.
Quarto & New Series:
The Society has published 61 volumes of its occasional Quarto Series, of which a substantial number contain extracts of the registers of Huguenot Churches. Many of the Quarto Series, especially the parish records, have long been out of print and are now very difficult to obtain, even on the second hand market. Therefore, the Council took the decision to make some of the more important volumes available on CD-ROM, a project launched in early 2004. The Editorial Committee is constantly encouraging research into material suitable for publication in the Quarto Series and several new titles will be available during the next three years.
The New Series was begun in 1990, and three of the four volumes published so far have concentrated on the memoirs of individual Huguenots.
