Navy Records Society
The Navy Records Society was founded in 1893 by a small group of
historians, naval officers, publicists and statesmen lead by
Professor Sir John Knox Laughton and Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge.
Their object was to publish original materials on the history of
the Royal Navy, as the basis for the development of policy and
doctrine. The Society, which has charitable status, continues to
flourish through the support of a truly international membership.
At present members receive at least one volume per annum, often
two, and the Society has an impressive list of titles awaiting
publication.
