About VCH Shorts

The Victoria County History Shorts series of parish and urban histories produced in paperback aims to bring local research to publication as swiftly as possible, and to inspire readers to get involved with VCH ventures in their own localities. The series grew out of The Victoria County History 1899-2012: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration experimental publication which was published in 2012 in both print and digital formats.
