Devon and Cornwall Record Society : a shelf-list of the collections
edited by Anne Howard, Honorary Librarian

The collections of the Devon and Cornwall Record Society are deposited in the Westcountry Studies Library, Castle Street, Exeter EX4 3PQ for the use of members only. Membership of the Society may be taken out in the Library. Temporary membership, lasting three months costs £5.00 and full membership, starting on the 1st of January each year, costs £16.50. Also available is joint membership at £20.00 and professional membership at £30.00. Please note that, under the Society's regulations, searches in the collections, including the Boyd and Fursdon marriage indexes, cannot be undertaken by staff in the Westcountry Studies Library. For further information on the Society, see the Society's page on Genuki. For information on professional searches see the Devon Record Office.

This listing of the Society's collections is based on the work undertaken by Stephen Stride during 1986 and has been updated to take account of recent accessions. Items included in earlier lists, but omitted here, were not found in the shelf check conducted during the original revision of this list in 1986. The list is divided into sections which normally reflect the arrangement of the material on the shelves as follows:

A: Society publications, old series.
B: Society publications, new series.
C: Society publications, extra series.
F: Family information files (in reserve).
G: Parish information files (in reserve).
P: Inhabitant lists covering more than one parish. By year.
Q: Family histories. By name.
R: Miscellaneous records. Alphabetically by type.
S: Periodicals. By title.
W: Nonconformist registers on microfilm (in reserve).
X: Devon parish records.
Y: Marriage indexes for Devon and Cornwall.
Z: Cornwall parish records.
