Records of Social and Economic History

Chair: Professor Julian Hoppit FBA

Britain possesses one of the most remarkable sets of records of economic and social history in the world – a continuous series of cartularies, revenue-rolls, account books, personal diaries and correspondence, relating to all kinds of agricultural, urban, domestic, industrial, commercial and demographic subjects.

The series publishes primary sources that aid the study of social and economic history, with the original series containing nine volumes (published 1914–1935). In 1970, the British Academy established a new series, in light of the increasing interest in this type of history.

Proposals for volumes are welcomed. If you have an idea, please read the series overview and then email the Chair, Julian Hoppit, at [email protected]. He will be happy to discuss what you have in mind.
