The Dugdale Society, named after Warwickshire's distinguished antiquary, Sir William Dugdale, was founded in 1920 with the objects of publishing original documents relating to the history of the County of Warwick, fostering interest in historical records and their preservation and generally encouraging the study of local history.

For many years the Society has had very close links with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and is grateful for the continued support of the Trust

The Society publishes, as often as its resources permit, volumes of original documents relating to the County of Warwick, together with Occasional Papers based on records relating to Warwickshire and such other record publications as may be decided upon by the Council from time to time.  A programme of future publications is actively in preparation.

Offers of sponsorship and contributions towards publication costs are invited.
