Since the publication of the first volume of Transactions in 1849, over 160 editions of our journal have been published
This represents a considerable and influential body of scholarly material on the history of the two counties. Some of the articles published in the nineteenth-century volumes now constitute primary sources for certain aspects of the history of Lancashire and Cheshire.
All volumes of the journal from volume 1 issued in 1849 for the 1848-49 session up to and including volume 157 for 2008 have been digitised, and can be browsed below, or searched from this page.
