Originally founded in 1863 to promote interest in the history and
archaeology of the Huddersfield area, the Yorkshire Archaeological
Society expanded its purview in 1870 to cover the whole of
Yorkshire. In 1884 it began publishing its Record Series, which
aimed to make historical information available through the
reprinting of original documents, diaries, letters, and charters.
First published in 1933 and reprinted for the society in 1971, this
well-illustrated work is an extensive catalogue of maps of the
Yorkshire area, drawn between 1577 and 1900. The editor's
introduction sets the maps within the history of cartography in
Britain, and in the context of pioneering work by previous
cartographers. The entries give a description of what each map
depicts, along with information on dates and dimensions. This work
remains a valuable resource for local historians and geographers.
