The Sussex Record Society
founded in 1901 for the publication of records and documents relating to the county of Sussex
The Society commissions research by individuals who are experts in their field to produce historical records in the selected area of research of the County of Sussex in the United Kingdom. The research is published in book form with the help of the Society's historical, literature, technical, publishing and financial help provided by the members of the Society.  Over the last 100 years the Society has published 90 volumes of detailed historical research into the County of Sussex from 1066 to World War I.
