Archaeological and Historical Bibliography of Gloucester
Introduction Gloucester has been intensively studied by many amateurs, scholars and professionals over many decades and even centuries. While accepting that it can never be totally complete, this Bibliography aims to collate in one place all reports of significance that have come to notice. It was first produced in 1993 by Malcolm Atkin as a CD-ROM, and was revised to its present format in 2011 by Alan Tyler, who has now carried out a further upd...

Older Record publications ("the Green Series")
Between 1952 and 1985, the Record Section of BGAS issued 13 editions of Bristol and Gloucestershire records and related material, along with a one-off joint production with the Bristol Record Society in 1988. They are all now out of print, but can generally be found on second-hand book sites. The content of these books remains of value, so we have scanned all titles as searchable pdfs. Here is a checklist for the whole series, with pdf downloads ...

The Society’s badge The Society was founded in 1876, so we are getting close to notching up one and a half centuries. A Working Group is considering how best to mark this major anniversary in 2026. We envisage a series of activities and events to draw together the many people in Bristol and Gloucestershire who take an interest in heritage matters, whether professional or amateur, and offer them new insights into the history and archaeology of our...

The VCH’s ‘Big Red Books’ Ever since the VCH – the ‘greatest publishing project in English Local History’ – got under way in Gloucestershire in the early 1900s, BGAS has followed its progress with keen interest, and there have always been many personal links between the VCH and this Society. When in 2010 local public funding for the Victoria County History came to an end, individual BGAS members were heavily involved in the setting up of the Glou...

The Lloyd George 1909 survey
This long-running project aims to transcribe and analyse for Bristol and Gloucestershire the survey of land values carried out as a result of the ‘People’s Budget’ of 1909. It provides a highly detailed property-by-property picture of the county and city before WW1, and is a wonderful resource for local and family historians alike. The Society is ensuring that the database of Gloucestershire properties, their occupiers and owners that resulting f...
