Annual reports (22nd- 39th) and papers read before the society.

1869-c 1881

From: 1869 To: 1881

This volume is made up from the Bedfordshire Architectural and Archaeological Society's reports and papers from what was originally intended to be volumes containing the reports and papers of multiple societies including, for example, Worcester Diocesan Architectural Society and St Albans Archaeological and Architectural Society, Louth Society (pages from these societies appear on the reverse of the end or beginning of the Bedfordshire reports and papers). The title under which the complete publication was issued is not known. The reports are numbered with Roman numerals and the papers with Arabic numbers. When the volumes of just Bedfordshire papers were put together, in the late 19th or possibly early 20th century, the pages were over stamped with a single sequence of numbers across three volumes from 1-970. This volume is pages 531-970 [no pages 809-899 due to mistake in numbering]. After report 39 the society merged with the Bedford Natural History Society and no formal report was issued. Papers are as follows: Bedfordshire and its Danish Period by C E Prior, 1869 (542-564). Antiquity of the Human Race by James Wyatt, 1870 (571-601).
