Our Journal
Our quarterly journal has been published continuously since the Society was formed in 1975. It has twice won the Family History Federation's award for Best Overall Journal of the Year. A complete set is available for reference in our Research Room in Bristol.
Each issue aims to keep members up-to-date with Society business and news, and forthcoming events including local talks and fairs locally and elsewhere. There are regular features such as reports from meetings, progress on projects, members’ research enquiries, details of new publications and a selection of articles about family or local history topics submitted by members.
Some earlier series of articles such as ‘On the Internet’ and ‘My Parish’ can be found on the website though many hyperlinks therein are old and may no longer work. Indices to family names and article titles in all the Journals are on the website.
The Journal is distributed to all members each quarter – March, June, September and December. Members joining partway through a Society year also receive the past copies of that year.
The Journal Editor is Bridget Hogan at editor@bafhs.org.uk.
