Hertfordshire Record Society

The Hertfordshire Record Society is a text publication society for the county of Hertfordshire in England. It was founded in 1985 based on an idea by Lionel Munby for the purpose of publishing "texts relating to Hertfordshire that would not otherwise be easily accessible." The society is a registered charity.

Publications
The society publishes an annual volume as well as ad-hoc publications such as historic maps. The first volume, Anthony Palmer's Tudor Churchwardens' Accounts, collated the records of six Hertfordshire parishes for the first time to provide a primary source for church administration during the Reformation. The second volume, edited by Lionel Munby, compared and contrasted the household records of William, 2nd earl of Salisbury and Edward Radcliffe, 6th earl of Sussex, in the 17th-century.
