The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529) is a scholarly society devoted to the study of peri- and post-Reformational Catholic Church in England and Wales founded in 1904.[1] It has been described as "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom",[2] and has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available.[3]
