Berkshire Archaeological Journal
Berkshire Archaeological Society, 2007
In 1878, the Berkshire Archaeological and Architectural Society started publishing annual reports and transactions. These were produced from time to time until 1902. Between 1889 and 1895; the Society also produced a quarterly journal. In 1895, a number of groups agreed to work together to produce the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Archaeological Journal. These groups were the Berkshire Archaeological Society, The Newbury District Field Club, The Oxford Architectural and Historical Society, The Oxford University Antiquarian Society, and The Ladies Brass-rubbing Society of Oxford.
From 1895, this journal was produced with four parts per volume; the parts being published in April, July, October and January over a 12 month period. Volumes 1 to 34 had been produced when, in 1931, these arrangements came to an end. In 1932, starting with volume 35, the Berkshire Archaeological Society began publishing the Berkshire Archaeological Journal at the rate of two parts per volume; one in the spring and the other in the autumn. These arrangements changed in 1943 when volume 47 was produced as a single publication. Since then the journal has been produced as a succession of single issues produced initially every year and latterly every two or three years.
