This collection comprises volumes of the Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society. The Society was founded in 1855 and over the years has changed its name slightly, but its aims have virtually remained the same; 'to promote the study of history, archaeology, antiquities and architecture of the county'. The Transactions journal is published annually and contains articles alongside a summary of all archaeological activity which has taken place in the city and counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. A sister publication the 'Leicestershire Historian' is also issued annually.
