The Trustees of the Society decided at a Board meeting over a year ago to publish its Proceedings, printed annually on paper, more than two years old on its website on Open Access for all to read as pdfs. The project has started and Volumes 147 to 150 inclusive are available to read on the Proceedings page at www.sanhs.org/Proceedings.htm.
It is hoped to add at least one volume each month whilst scanning the pre-2004 volumes.
Read and/or download for free.

Like many other County History Societies, SANHS is beginning to grapple with some issues emerging from publishing an annual volume of Proceedings of the Society. Cost of putting together the work, typesetting the document, printing and despatching the paper copy to Members and associates is challenging when funds are in short supply.
The Society's Publications Committee is developing a draft policy for managing the balance of paper and electronic copies of Proceedings and their distribution and access on the www respectively. The Finch Report of 2012 has raised the stakes and members of the community of best practice are beginning to respond.
