This initiative has been started to provide an outlet for the publication of documents that will be of benefit to those researching various aspects of the New Forest. To provide a financial basis for the project, an approach was made to the European Community New Forest LEADER+ 2000-2006 Programme, a funding stream provided by the European Union. This backing provided for publication of the first five volumes of the series.
Each of these hardback volumes has an introductory essay and full personal and place-name indices. The first five volumes were published in a limited run of 200 copies each. Any profit made from the sale of these volumes will go towards the publication of future volumes in the series.
Each volume is available to purchase in our Gift Shop for £15.00. You can also order these titles online.
